Thursday Poem - At Dawn

a waning moon floats high in the cloudless
blue and blesses a perfect summer day,
one that will never come again in all
its sweetness and its fey perfume.

slow walkers in the early hours, we go along
together, paw and paw, through fragrant
summer yieldings of clover, grass and golden
daisies, accompanied by rhyming crickets,
by humming bees and dancing leaves

while around us, unseen but deeply felt
and loved, the world is breathing in and
out, all our voices falling together into
seamless light and tune and time.

Cate, this is simply wonderful. I do miss having rudbeckias. They are so lovely, they are ‘thankful’ to have in one’s garden but sadly, they are not available where I live in France. Another ‘good item’ to look forward to if ever I should be able to live again in Switzerland!
Thank you for this morning joy :)

Christina, the blue "stuff" is Voper's Bugloss, very prickly but bumbles love it.
