Seasonal Scents

On the edges of a Spring dawn Flying high in the breeze, so soft Grows the breath of lilac’s hope Freshly mown grass With a hint of sweetest rainfall On the border of the Summer sun Rising silently from the warmth Comes a salty sea, a whispering wind The sultry trace of lavender And roses that laugh with happiness On the rim of an Autumn morn Breaking loose the limbs from pines Come the sighing caress of a storm As leaves gently curl and swell Sending suggestions of dark, dry earth On the tones of Winter’s silvery snow Drifting with lights that stroke the moon With loving expressions of joy Discovered in the moist adoration Of prayers reeking of pinecones and holly The scents of nature, both gentle and bold Whisper to me through seasonal growth Which erases all the worries of the past months Igniting the grace of a compassion with each moment As it fills the spirit with assurance of God’s love Favorite Scents Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke March 14, 2021
