Notes About The Poem

A Noonday Pause

An apple blossom respite, among the wild springtime blooms,
Silence in hot sunshine golden, a pause in the familiar tunes,
Muted, pretty purple martins, in the season of endless green,
Indulge in a quiet spell, where teal sky and treetops convene.

Pretty blooms pause on runways, in the lazy style of summer,
Red butterflies erratically fly, to beats of a different drummer,
Lethargy now has precious time, caught within its silken grip,
Like silver moon and twinkling stars, in the endless courtship.

"Like silver moon and twinkling stars, in the endless courtship." Such beautiful description, of places and wing-full moments, leading harried souls to thoughtfully light, and then airily wander. Love it!

Nothing like the precious time of lethargy -- and a poem by Evelyn Judy Buehler!
