Summer's Breath

Perennial wonders of full chromatic light 
a gush of crimson red a splash of shade   
I'm fortunate enough to catch her flight    
as tendrils fall before the bramble fade  

she dances me around  oh!  such a bless  
caressing both my eyes this pilgrim dream  
is leaping in the air with seasoned  kiss
and gifting me her loveliness supreme 

each daffodil - a splash of yellow
a gathering of flowers on my pillow 
I long to be a rose between two weeds     
raying everything that owns a seed     

and as she gifts me summer's grain
I too in silence turn it right as rain  
this sweeting hour of repose this bless,      
I claim it in as love, no more no less.
