Summer balm weighs heavy

my heart can hear the trill

of eloquent seasons intentions

to nature’s clock fulfil

 

But… O’er the nest is empty

remains there barren still

as lacewings dance the Maypole

to appease the Mother’s will

Column

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Demonised and vilified,

I worshipped and adored.

You lost your way and injured me,

betrayed, abused, ignored.

 

That pedestal was way too high,

for you to stay upright;

alas your world came tumbling down,

your reign fell overnight.

 

Naivety and ignorance,

fell from my tired eyes,

I see you for your human self,

you simply were not nice.

My tummy feels like summer,

or a giggle just set free,

like a flitter of lairy butterflies,

and a swarm of buzzy bees.

 

My heart beats to the rhythm,

of girls who jump the rope,

bouncing like a bright beach ball,

shown on some Oscilloscope.

 

My mind spins like the waltzer,

at a gaily lit up fair.

My head is full of candy floss,

and kites that surf the air.

 

If I could catch the essence,

and save a jar or two,

I’d keep them in my cupboard,

for when I’m feeling blue.
