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

Sweet Melodies

Sweet Melodies

love notes of sweet melodies
shoot from deep-green leaves
swayed by gentle breeze
tenderly caressing me
snuggling into the sun
a lullaby softly hummed
innocence fills my lungs
a thousand yesterdays
cleansed with sea spray
exhaled and put away
sweep the floor of today
space for my soul to play
