Gates of Summer

courtesy of Bjorn














Gates to summer open, where will it lead
spring disappeared on dandelion seeds
monarch butterflies dance with honey bees
in a field of wildflowers feeling free

sunlight glistens as days are longer
finding the rhythm of life getting stronger
dreaming under a wispy willow tree
in a field of wildflowers feeling free

on mossy trails, my spirit is restored
in glowing sunlight, laying down my sword
my heart an open book, I give to thee
in a field of wildflowers feeling free

  1. So beautiful, Truedessa. Love the spring disappearing on dandelion seeds, and those frisky wildflowers. Also the heart, an open book.
