An Evening Walk

underneath the trees
listening to the birdsong
as the sun descends

another day
the halo proven
an illusion

moments of summer 
petals briefly in the sun 
then fading earthwards

Today’s prompt is “elevate”. I’ve been thinking about birds today, so here is my contribution.

still beneath the clouds
birds dancing upon the wind
elevate spirits

Some words are gentle sunlight
Some words flash
Like a nuclear bomb
At midnight

morning glory 
rising to meet the dawn
within my garden

petal's graceful arc
as the sunlight passes through
forgotten raindrops

after the rain 
a single blossom 
sunlight returns

glories of summer 
dancing upon these petals
always seeking grace

summer breezes
the delight of bees
and hummingbirds
