May Spring ~ Summer Heat

May Spring ~ Summer Heat


blazing sunset 

louisiana liquid red

summer has arrived
in May

front porch rocker

fire fly nights

punctuated by

country music

crickets, cajun

bird chirps

ever present

groggy froggy’s

black iron

fire pit dancing

amber flames

all of night

begging

sixty moments

of stillness

twenty four seven

raised to a

sacred art

escape the walls

greet the forest

bow - gassho

tiptoe in

to the outside

discover

passionate

observation

of life
carve out a

place for peace

at the table

harvest daily

use both hands

kiss the blessings

remain in a state

of great expectation

rubies, diamonds,

emeralds lay

at your feet

open your eyes

gather these jewels

shine them, store them

in your blue velvet

heart
