Trip-trap
along the path
finding dust,
twigs, bees
and green
dappled light
betwixt the trees.
Sun blinding
then hiding
then dancing in
leaves. Once,
twice, a sneeze,
for pollen is thick,
breathing quick.
A stumble, a bumble,
a laugh in treetops.
It passes too fast.
I wish spring
would last.

Note: Summer is upon us, with its burning sun and furnace heat. Yay for swimming! Hope you are finding joy each day.

Such a pretty lilac flowers among all that green! 🙂 And spring does seem to pass so quickly…perhaps because we enjoy it so much?

Perhaps you’re right, and it’s our perception that is the downer.

Isn’t that a beautiful spot. A bank of flowers, a path and trees to frame the sun.

I miss spring now we’re in the blast furnace. And mid-drought. So much money going into watering things. Where is the rain?
