Signs of summer
It's easy to get lost, along these concrete streets
Brick buildings and cold hard steel are no company for the lonely traveller
Instead, rise early
just as the day kisses the night
barefoot, step out in the light
plant your feet in emerald blades of green
feel how you connect to nature's rhythm
a welcome embrace from an old friend
Breath in the still of the day
till your lungs are overflowing glasses of calm
Now listen to the earth as she ushers in all that is bountiful
and give up your heart to rejoicing
as a dawn chorus serenades you back to life
