Summer

The air is thick
   with familiar sounds and scents.
There is no question
  of where winter went.
Summer skips and dances over spring
 ready for all nature to grow and sing.
Feathered birds fly near and close
 to sing and nest within the rose.
A joyous, happy melodic song
 grateful that cold winter is gone.
They dance at the morning sun rise
 unafraid and glad to have survived.
Floating on the summer light breeze
 they arrive in time for the fullness of the trees.
Their song is endless, clear and sincere
 as they come into the garden here.
Each bird and plant provide a colorful display
 welcoming the start of each summer day.
