Poem
There are no months as beautiful as early summer months wild flowers make the headlines, Leaning heavy on my old worn hazel wood stick walking to a wooded meadow out of breath, Clusters of Primrose and large patches of Blue Bells chat with clumps of Spring Violets, As I stand wheezing the wonderful smells the dampness of wood and flowers give me air. Lesser Celandine flowers between March and May heart shaped leaves a glistening yellow, Now feeling a little better my head lifts the top of some large trees seem so far away, The Cuckoo flower has leaves deeply toothed with spear stems, shows off all its beauty. The kindle under my gentle walking cracks loudly so the meadow and trees know I am here. There is a second spring in the forest wooded meadow Snowy Mespilas with white flowers, It reminds me of winter snow I once enjoyed these days my legs are not what they were, The tree of heaven spreads climbing sixty feet and the Alder with soft purple catkins, Leaning on a tree happy to be here with warm sun finding its way through high branches. Hedgerows dress in the same vernal-looking hue and a Chipmunk darts across a small field, The Chipmunk runs up the side of a nearby tree if he new me well he would not run away, Thick scented heather lives on the moorlands side by side with an evergreen Bog Rosemary, A furry little face high up on a branch is watching me in the same way I am watching him. A Judas tree with round leaves clusters of magenta, pea like flowers greet me this day, I wonder why it is called the Judas tree is it the one Judas hung from with silver coins, Cornelian Cherry flowers at the end of winter, followed by richest bright orange fruits, A Japanese Quince shows splashes of color they are so white, or salmon or very very pink. Weigela a beautiful shrub will bell like flowers and a deep red rose brighten the woods, Times getting on now and I am tired but standing in this beautiful meadow I feel so alive, Doesn't matter how old or how well a person maybe that same natural beauty is seen by all, So leaning heavily on my companion the hazel stick I walk back to my home it's a great day.
