Mixed May Messages
Cool May evening skies come as a surprise
following several days adventures
of record heat breaking temperatures.
and as the brush of March retreats with temperatures of gathering heat
relief comes unexpected in belief
but most welcomed relief.
The end weeks of mid May return us to much cooler days
of March winds without a flower
frequented by April's showers
then the cold light breezes scour as days fill with gray hours
and brief morning sun light
glows bright again after midnight.
The dusk of May begin to fall filled by distant robins call
and catbird songs sound spiritual
in whispering of mating rituals.
Too late the seasonal slide as spring is set aside
to waiver from stormy wrath
between wintry aftermaths
and the hinted promise displayed of brilliant more sunny days
wrap heat and light explored
to move the season forward.
