I love the sound of wind through the trees

Wind Through The Trees

wind blows through these trees
memories awakening
tranquility’s song

passing under trees
the path dry from the spring sun
with the bold birdsong

upon the roadside
waiting for the bees to come
embracing sunlight

suburban wanders
as fresh cut grass’ scent dances
memories awake

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “fresh”. As it’s spring here in the suburbs of Seattle, and I’m listening to a mower’s drone, this flowed from my keyboard.

petals scattering
memories of fading spring
summer whispers “soon”

Watching the trees shed their blossoms’ petals is both beautiful and sad. Summer comes on the death of spring.

mists flowing through trees

moisture upon the petals

dreaming of the sun

underneath the trees
sunlight and clouds dance above
feet upon the earth

kissed by the sunlight
dancing upon the spring breeze
the arc of petals

gazing skyward
sunlight flows through the trees
crows laughing boldly

snoozing through winter
slowly awakening
morning’s gentle rain

Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge” is Snooze. These words came while watching rhododendron blooms slowly come to life this week.
