Welcome Visitor

The pale face of nature
Of flowers and treetops
So battered and weary
Come out of the shadows
Tattered and bobbing
At long last are smiling

The welcomed arrival
Of sunkissed horizons
Has blissfully welcomed
The gold in the morning
All smitten with cheer

Trees lean to the side
Drunk on the sun
Lifting their branches
Keeping it near

I long for it too
As I move out my chair
From under the shade
To drink in the sun
After dark winter days
To welcome it here

Love 'Drunk on the sun'. I could feel that way, once it gets here. I am so missing its warmth. I am ready to welcome the new season. Love, Shar
