Of May and a Late Afternoon...

 

As the lowering sun drops down
below the ragged horizon
and the brisk, May breezes
cause the meadow flowers to ripple,
my heart becomes a butterfly
now loosed from his chrysalis...

Spring gives new meaning
to all the emerging creatures,
as its golden light awashes
the hills in dazzling splendor...

The fermament overhead darkens,
the stars come out of hiding,
the face of joyous Mother Moon
sets all the Earth aglow...
