Midsummer

Yellow
Tiny flowers shaped as stars
Gazing gracefully at the sky
Rough ears of rye
Rocking rythmically in the breeze
Calming cammomile
Fuzzy faces smiling upwards

Blue
Forget-me-nots floating fearfully
On blue grass, green moss
Bluebells waving boldly
At pale cumulus clouds
Lavish ladyfinger shines lilac
Beautiful to behold, deadly though

White
Mellow meadowsweet merging
Into white wild grass
Diffusing delicately
Appetizing aromas into the air
Heavenly scented honeysuckle
Winds white finger round fences

Red
Succulent strawberries stir
Sweet memories of mother
Red currants render flavour
To joyfully juicy jam
Rubyred roses blush boldly
Protected by thick thorns

Green
Pale, powerful, potent, pungent
Deep, dark, dormant, dreamy
Brilliant, bright, blueish, bold
Gorgeous grass, growing wildly
Brightly hued birch leaves beckon
To the green sun in the great sky

Silver
Shiny beech bark
Smooth and soft to the touch
Potent Phagos of the fair foreigner
Bringing bright gifts to the gods
Tawny tiny nuts hidden in thorns
Nourishing shy sojourners in need

The Sun shines warmly
Summer seems so strong
Yet secretly, stealthily, stubbornly
The Dark has come

Let us revel in the heat
Rejoice
Recognize, though, reverently
Dark and light as One
In the depth of the heart
The sounds of the winds in the elms
like the strings of a harp being played,
the note of the blackbird that claps
with the wings of delight in the glade.

Thank you, Crimson Stormfire! It just came to me on the warm air... :o
The sounds of the winds in the elms
like the strings of a harp being played,
the note of the blackbird that claps
with the wings of delight in the glade.
