Chapter 156
…and out of the haze a figure approached.
Summer doing its darndest to be all things to all people. We yearn through the long months of winter, for the respite of the summer season. We all know we’ll suffer through the highs and lows of sudden- onset allergy season, sudden-blooming mosquito month, not enough rain, too much rain, smokey days and nights, crazy heat and wilder storms. Onward through the ever-changing backstage shuffle of nature’s evolving poetic chaos, we carry on with our tiny and yet massive lives and doings.
It’s wonderful to be out doing… enjoying a walk at the end of the day, despite a body that’s dragging its ass. Being in the presence of some fabulously sublimly joyful beings amid a pool of nature’s glory at its Alberta finest, works wonders to perk up taxed muscles and bring a bit of bounce back into the stride. Splashes of brilliant golden yellow finches, wildly chuckling waters after some good rain, translucent blue- mauve harebells and everywhere the song of birds, while the ground yields gently underfoot and the grasses grow chest high in places. Yes.
For times when a change is as good as a rest…
Antidote
There’s an antidote.
An anecdote,
a rhythm that moves you,
unfettered beats to free you
… a splash of divine intervention…
A scent of deliciousness:
Love on the rampage
Love impassioned
Love obliterated by
Love – not rationed
A scent of iridescence
in your presence.
Your song of success
your whisper, your burr
your purr in their ear
A scent of freedom
the wind in your face
the sky in your heart
the feeling of grace
an immaculate start
A scent of laughter
A feel, a touch
Of your caring
Of your sharing
Of your silken soul
A scent of compassion
builds like a rose
falls like a lark
comforts like love’s embrace
the scent of the dark
brilliant
effervescent spark.
Antidote to the world’s ills.
Keep that scent/sense of deliciousness in you!
