Summer Eyes

a warm summer breeze
bathes my skin in delight
banishing the winter chill
for another season
or longer --
who knows the future?

the valley begins
to stir with life
ready to don its
summer garment
and play host
to all manner of life.

a visual symphony unfolds
-- a poet’s delight --

sensual eyes absorb
every part of you;
hands accustomed to weaving
lyric verse
gently trace the contours of
ur body/mind --
ur entire being

we move together
in perfect harmony,
the warm breeze
insulating us from
the memory of harsh
winter chills

birds throat their love calls
reminding us
that only the future
holds promise,
Life

the past,
whether dressed
in splendour,
rags or both
is unable to produce,
we resurrect it
with memories at times
but it is gone forever

today is lush
warm,
its fullness
overwhelms and
soothes the soul
and senses,
its abundance
requires no
assistance
only appreciation,
participation

today is shaping into
something special,
perhaps
a perfect summer day
