Summertime awakens the redolent flowers

It brings to life again the day

Rebirth of the stars

Raindrops become my healing balm

And thunder my elixir

Demure fawns gallop gracefully

Across the woodland’s fallen trees

And the sky is arrayed

In cloaks of fragrant mist

The forest’s familiar scent of petrichor

Fills the moss laden air

And hidden periwinkles glisten with dewdrops

Sweet summertime has returned once more

Her usual fugacious beauty
