Song of July

 Here are a few stanzas that captured my senses today...

Field of Queen Ann’s Lace and brook without babble

Garnet of half-moon, woodland lullaby

And over the morning the soft sweet adorning

Of dew on the garden and blue on the sky

Green in the valley and gold on the hillside

Holly-hock halos and musky-dusk sigh

Wild-flower wonder in innocent splendor

Hay in the meadow and dust in my eye

Sleepy bird sonnet and sunset surrender

Silver birch glimmer, bronze oceans of rye

Front porch reunion in twilight communion

This is the beautiful song of July
