one more dance before we part
moonlit evening's growing old
all nighttime exudes romance
in sultry summer
with charming cool elegance
blooms dazzle near falling leaves
pansies dahlias and mums
add to the color
cosmos and lilies blush bliss
sage and sedum, autumn fire
shine in the heyday of chill
as hued leaves go down
here the charm of peonies
just peach ones in my garden
wafting scents loving the sun
from dawn to red dusk
in the swamp I tramped alone
surrounded by sweet birdsong
the vivid colorful sky
said the hour was late
the tangerine sun shone bright
passions were so much deeper
the pace of life much faster
kaleidoscopic
wonder and newness of joy
in the garden of dreaming
where sunset skies rained rubies
endless beginnings
anthers of orange and gold
a large pink bloom soaks the sun
light pink here and dark pink there
with streaks of purple
fragrance fills the summertime
forever lived in one day
beauty sensed by the senses
never unnoticed
gold butterflies in noon fields
of sunflowers and daisies
greet black-eyed susan delight
yellow warblers sing
in the heart of hot summer
the song lives on forever
on the blooming paths of time
tales of summer love
the days are filled with colors
in all the possible hues
spring through winter, down the years
on land sea or sky
lives immersed in radiance
burnished dawn to ruby dusk
thrill to the vibrant frenzy
'til purple black night
red and orange peonies
in a lemon colored vase
catching the red sunset rays
evening bay window
all the day has come to this
when the night blooms are waking
vivid hues above, below
welcoming the dark
high-rises touch sunset skies
and are bathed in many hues
fast cars bright lights raucous noise
eclectic beauty
frowns and smiles people laughing
on the way to a new day
in the now vivid fashions
sophisticated
