Sunny Sunday
Beach breezes blowing coolness off the Atlantic
New roses, pink and petals fluttering
Riotous red Cardinals brightening georgeousness of greens hedges and tree leaves;
Trilling exciting new summer songs
People parading with surfboards under wetsuited arms
Bicyclers pedaling by; leaving trails of sunshine smiles as they speed along
Strollers taking in the sun on a pleasant constitutional
Babies happily babbling to the tune of perambulation
Neighborhood dogs calling bow wow hellos to each other
Dining al fresco, a mid day highlight
Enjoyment afoot
And then they roll in, sweeping sun from view
At once, in a moment’s time span, it is grey and misty
And all cools.
Goodbye May
Hello June
Nap time is nigh

thanks for your kind comment.
glad it made you feel good.
i spent many years of summers indoors with a spine injury so i know what you mean. lots of my writing about nature was what i observed from my window. details i would have missed being hale & hearty & on the go, became lovely moments that gave me pause for reflection and peaceful enjoyment that i would have otherwise missed, if the universe hadn’t flattened me with an all out stop.
today i’m grateful for what made me sad & frustrated.
may your summer be filled with positive surprises which enrich your energy and insights & make you feel good too.
in light
