I stopped under a jacaranda yesterday, waiting for the wind to shake the tree and shower me with the blossoms. Lovely ode to summer, Suyin! I read it yesterday and waited to see it on the desktop- what lovely poem art!
Wow! Just wow🤯 This reads like a magical fairytale, it honestly left me in awe✨ makes me want to wear lavender dresses, relax and take this summer slow, eating peaches with my eyes closed under a tree, living my fairy dreams🪞 your words never, never fail to transport me and bewitch me 🤍 thank you for such beauty🧚🏻
Wow I love this piece, Suyin. Every line is so gorgeous. I also love how you use line breaks: and the expanse that each line break opens up for me while reading. That allows me to savour your beautiful words even more deeply. 🌻
Here was my Ode to Summer I wrote some years ago...
Summer streams in waves of wonder
Sand and sea to delight and ponder
Ripples of breeze tease linen and cotton
Dandelion drifts are all but forgotten
To wander in water and float in the swell
Erases the days to linger and dwell
Begin again and create anew
The warmth of sun surrenders to blue
The kiss of the night beckons the stars
Moon reflections lap at the shores
Darkness is punctured with pinpoints of light
Numb with the fears that turn to insight
Soon the daybreak and ombre of dawn
Capture the focus, conclusions are drawn
To soften the gaze and penetrate the sand
Billions of grains sift through your hands
Each is unique broken apart
The chemistry of cosmos began with a start
Fleeting this season of solstice and slumber
Summer streams in waves of wonder
