The Sun Over May



The summer is nearing
and all will flourish.
The ground will be fearing,
the great rays that nourish.  
In the days to come,
the air will sing,
and we’ll know where from
the birds will cling.
Love will rise
from the roots of flowers,
their colors will surprise,
the overlooking towers.
