Tree Shaded Path | Ann Christine Tabaka

Summer’s searing heat
filled the day.
A tree shaded path,
gave respite to weary travelers
who stopped to rest.
Seated upon lush green,
stories were shared.
A time to think about
all that had transpired.
A sanctuary of the heart,
to all who gathered there.
Refreshed, spirits buoyed,
the pilgrims moved on.
Once again trees opened
welcoming arms to
the next to pass this way.

The Taste of Summer | Susy - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

The Taste of Summer | Susy

Movements round a carousel.
Slowly they quicken with the taste of summer.
The blurred streaks of people.
Making new colours.
Even the reverberations of sounds I hear again in that other place.
Walking up stairs.
Leading to the warm folds of a white blanket.
I rearrange the flowers that are sewn into the fabric.
The wafting scent of them emerges.
Engulfing me.
Opening my eyes.
Did a fragrance do that?
Or was it the sights and sounds of summertime,
Laying on the white blanket?
