Summer Breeze

Blow, blow, soft summer breeze
whispering through the poplar trees
rose scented as I breathe
Parachute seeds suspended in thin air
float right past my garden chair.
So gently you wreathe
soft on my brow a cool sheathe
Sunlight dapples on green grass cut fine
I taste the sweetness of your breath in mine
as One we intertwine

Blow, blow, a do si do with mallow flowers
branches sway for hours and hours
while fish leap to plop back in the pond
sunbeams and widening ripples bond
I watch you blow fine mists of spray
through children’s water play, lift their laughter away.
Dance, though invisible I know you’re there
I sense your touch, feel the ozone in the air.
Sweet summer’s breath in mine
as One we intertwine
