in sun drenched noon lost in light
smiling gently to herself
she is on the path of pinks
with their clove like scent
tanagers and scarlet birds
come to the midday calling
but she is off to somewhere
flowers in her hand
bathed in reds from setting sun
the moon peeps in dreams of night
cars go by music playing
cardinals fly low
children play in summer's glow
nearby a double red rose
an ice cream truck is selling
new york cherry cones
wind in hair facing the sun
walking paths of yesterdays
fragrant gusts in bowing trees
invisible friend
tossing the blooms to and fro
all dance to your lively tune
clothes flapping birdsong in air
and summer is young
in the middle of the day
at the latter part of June
profuse blooms such ripe berries
the world is waking
here the charm of peonies
just peach ones in my garden
wafting scents loving the sun
from dawn to red dusk
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
