Middle of May

the snow on the mountains
is melting away
every day's warmer
it's middle of May

dogwood is blooming
with whales swimming by
as halos appear in
a hazy blue sky -

my peas are now growing
thyme is in bloom
doves keep on cooing
as warmer days loom

the evenings are brighter
as mornings become
waking to golden
light from the Sun -

the news is horrific
it always has been
personally choosing
a more peaceful screen

personally riding
my breathing to find
there's something amazing
inside all the time
