Failte

I can feel it,
smell it fragrant on the breeze
watch it in the leaves of broadleaf trees that bend to give me shade
taste it sweet upon my waiting lips
a kiss that comes to me 
through every flower and bird and labouring bee,
not in gentle honeyed sips but fresh as new picked mint 
every morning clear as day, bright as resting dew at dawn
I hear it whispered through the grass 
summer is reborn
