summer – Ancient Skies

In the Wildflowers and Ferns

In the wildflowers and ferns, summer

reclaims the earth, and embraces

the sun, spreading peace

throughout the forest.

our summer songs, with a little streak

of red, to add some fire

to his prayers.

Streaks of Light Dancing Through the Treetops

20160610_162505

On the tree tops, where the leaves meet the skies,

where blue jays fuss, and robins gather

with a few sparrows

an offering lifted, the wind

carrying our prayer

with streaks of light

dancing through the treetops,

on a summer evening.

The Early Morning Light

As Mallards pruned themselves on the shore, robins sang good morning songs,

while the early morning light began reflecting on the stream.

And then, for a moment, for only a moment

all the creatures paused, praying

for our world, to have peace.

Summer Reflections

A thin veil rippling, as the Mallard ducks paddle softly, silently

across the water, opening the reflection of the sky

just long enough for my heart to reach

through the green, then blue, with a prayer

for us all.

In Every Spring

Vacation 593

In every spring, there is a summer waiting

which our good Mother slowly

brings forth, with the sun and rain

fruits and vegetables

and some lavender too.

Gifts, for our tables,

and homes.

Watching You Walk in the Tall Grass

20150612_105553

Yes I do dream about you and I, in the green, watching you walk in the tall grass,

our fingers lightly touching, a breeze gently moving your hair

as you smile at me. Do you remember filling our

buckets with strawberries?

And I love the way

the sun brushes your cheek

in the fields

of June.
