Time Loosens its Grip

      The scent of a blossom
        the breath of the wind

      A freshness fills the air
        life on a Spring day without a care

      Time wafts over us
        loosens its grip

Beauteous spring/summer poem, Gershon. As I read your poem out here in the backyard with the temperature in the mid 60’s, sunny, and breezy. Great weather to stay outside all day. As soon as it starts getting hotter and more humid one of these days, I’ll have to go inside by 1 in the afternoon. I’m too aged for being out in the heat all day. Have a pleasant afternoon. :)

OK, 'aged one.' Wishing relatively cool days ahead for you. ~ Gershon
