Pulse of July
Pulse of July’s languid hours:
blueberries ripening to deep purple,
lilies aligned in colorful arrays.
Ivory egrets,with graceful steps,
scout among green marsh grasses
that bend in warmer winds.
Heat and humidity have arrived –
energy is lost to move one muscle.
When winter’s blast whitens land
regrets will arise for passing
of these pleasant summer days.
