parched

Another day of baking sky

where swifts and swallows dance,

where gentle breezes carry ease

to Bethels green expanse,

where butterflies on nectars search

patrol the flower borders

and somehow find a way to trust

in Mother Nature’s orders.

In mythic tune the blackbird trills

and speaks the seasons glory

beneath it hums the drone of bees

in a neverending story,

as meadows patch the everblue

relentless month delivers

aridity to those that bathe

in slowly moving rivers.

Ahead of us the forecast speaks

enduringly of blue

of endless days of solar rays

with moisture not in view,

and so we learn to live within

the changes we have wrought

alongside all the butterflies

in the lessons that are taught.

I hope and trust that each of us

can find a way to thrive

and live well within the changes

as tomorrow comes alive
