Minstrel of Summer

Minstrel of Summer

How wonderful to listen
To that minstrel of summer
What sweeter sound to bask in
Than the song of the cicada?

Never-failing evangelist
Faithful herald of the sun
“Foul weather is banquished”
Announces cicada's hum

Don't go quiet on me
Keep singing little friend
Keep humming in your tree
Don't let the summer end

Seeds of Joy

Seeds of Joy

seeds of joy
  fling
from tiny hands
  as you spin

tired eyes
  brighten
over soft smiles
  as you spin

hearts warm and
  connect
with warmed hearts
  as you spin

your joy, my lovelies
is the world's pleasure
your pleasure, my angels
is the world's delight
your delight, princesses
is my solace

keep dancing, my beauties
dynamos of blessing
keep dancing, cherubim
you're ushering
Heaven in
