Tight-clenched bud
lets go
its knotty grip
and rigid reveries
.
yields its petals
to the pull
of sunlight
through the trees
.
all the while
Gaia smiles
and sends for
honeybees.

Yes…. unfortunately summer goes fastest of all, it seems. I’m still a “flower child”…just want to dance barefoot through the daisies all year round. 😄🌻☮️🌻
