June

Mornings speak louder
with the early birds' songs.
The joy of the sun 
that disguises our sadness, 
leaving it behind for some time.

June discovers souls
that live in the gloom, 
feeling alive as we open our eyes 
with the light trapped 
during the winter.
Blessed is the light
that removes dark feelings,
blessed are the eternal songs
of the birds that wake us up 
every morning.

Blessed is June, because 
the revelry of children 
playing happily, 
evokes dreams that stir up   
our past, bringing a smile back
to our bumpy present.

Blessed is June, for its joy, 
light and warmth.
A shiny special month
reveals the child on us 
opening the same window
for years, as it was the first time.

Dearest Maria, what a delightful way to welcome in June my dear friend. This puts such joy in the heart. You have so beautifully captured much here with the bird song, the radiant warmth of the sun that blankets more dark, sad thoughts too. Lighter nights and melodious bird song always puts joy in our hearts. I especially love the last stanza. I think it revitalises us all like you said each passing year seen through childlike eyes. Thank you for always cheering and bringing such uplifting

Yes, you are right, Victor. Here at the moment we have everything green as it has been raining well until now. Even today is very fresh. I wish you a great weekend!

June always is a very emotional one for me as it is the month also my son was born. Brilliant word weaving: well delivered. Love the imagery and flow of this. Sending you light
