May Day

It's May Day, a play day,
a blue sky, green grass day,
a day for dreaming of garden angels,
for walking around looking for grape hyacinths
and lusting over the lilies-of-the-valley,
their sweet sweet smell, the delicate bells
hanging white and tiny with a wind tunnel sound
only a butterfly can hear, so much cheer,
the warming buds, birds preening, everything greening,
and the sun and the slight breeze and the fragrance
have their way with me as I play this May day.

Wow..that really made me want to go outside. I adore the word choice and the little rhyme going on at the beginning.

Well, I certainly hope you got to go out and play, and, thank you.

Life will be beautiful only we have the moments you mentioned, but this is what all crave for and not what we live through.

I thought this was so observant and beautifully written.

May is when I was born, so I love it. I will always be born in May.

I will think of this tomorrow, working in the flowers

Thank you, Fire. I am a May baby too. So you must know that lily-of-the-valley is our flower. I will be thinking of you working in your flowers.
