Sunday Morning Rhapsody

The early morning walkabouts
 gathers in the view
an ocean tide of green yellowed sprouts
 splashing throughout in garden cue
as flower buds edge forth upon the turf
 and petal blossoms flutter down to earth.

It's late spring n pause assumed
 upon the garden splash
when flowers once budded and bloomed
 but never seem long enough to last.
but there it is, a rhapsody
 somewhere hiding in tree leaves.

Unseen but well heard
 a ballad for the seasons repeating
an echoed repertoire of a mockingbird
 filled with spring and summer greetings
calling out melodies earth-shaking
 enjoy the Sunday morning with little hesitating.
