As the days grow long,
Find me verdant resplendence
Surrounded by arboreal critters,
Birds singing in their jazz sessions
And all that muck carried with it’s baggage
Evaporates into the ether.

Here a gentle breeze-
Brings the susurrus of leaves
Sounding like waves hitting the shore
We can get lost in dendritic umbrage
Walking these beaten paths to find
Solace in the sylvan -
Our own Eden if only for fleeting little moments.

Moments caught in a photograph, ethereal -
Looking back at all the light and love therein
Clarity pokes through the dark of thought
Crepuscular stars align in the shape of a heart
Consolation in constellations,
Diamonds for your soul for surviving the rough
Here in the calm of nature blooms incipient
Flowers' color and scent -
As a morrow’s dew spreads the perfume
I am home at last.
