UPLIFTING MAY

Cruel and severe the months gone by
Leaving dispirited emotions astride
Awaiting the elimination of dreary days
Saddling my mind in troubling ways.

Slowly with more warming days
Bringing gradual weather change
Sunny blue skies in awakening stance
Singing birds, buds, flowers and plants.

Negative thoughts on soft breezes carried away
My feelings to nature’s renewal gave way
Refreshing, inspiring, happy days of May
Intuitively I bathed in the joyous warm rays.

My heart too opened its inner core
Seeking, exploring a friendly open door
Hoping to share in friendship a petite amour
Celebrating the invigorating, uplifting May we adore.
