It is summer.
Everything feels whole and hearty
and alive with its own loveliness.
We are called to admire
the blooming,
the bounteousness and ripeness,
all this unfurled potential
in full and languorous display.
We are called to soften into summer,
warm skin and sweetness,
languid and open
to the caress of life’s
abundant desire
and devoted passion
as it curls around our shoulders
and fills our hearts and ears.
Now, is when we bring ourselves
out into the shining,
when we dare
to lift our bright and willing petals
up to the sun,
soaking up
the replenishment and inspiration
we have so sought and craved.
