Under my bare feet
raindrops, mud, then
first green grass.
Have you even been
touched by love?
The sun swimming
over a creek;
a snake drowsing
on a rock,
letting his skin
dry after the rain.
Nameless wildflowers
playing tirelessly
with a squirrel
that doesn’t stop
eating lunch.
I have always known
May a lot like this,
like a California
girl on a road trip,
like a sun kissed
soul who can dance
without music,
like a rock band
performing on
a deserted pavement,
like a flower
a bit careless about
its beauty and aura,
like a forest that
dares to stay green
year after year.

May happened to be another busy month this year. I hate to use “busy” when I have so many positive things to talk. Isn’t everyone busy anyway nowadays? May to me is the smell of forest, sight of wildflowers, walks in the rain. A lot of nature, and fresh air.
How is your May going?

May is my favorite month – the world greens and unfolds!
So true. 🙂
Perfect.
That’s May. 🙂
A delightful post and I love the photo. May here is autumn and today the chill-factor is creeping in. Skies are blue and the days are beautiful.
How beautiful the two hemispheres of our world! I hope you’re enjoying the autumn. 🙂
Thanks Archita!
The writing is beautiful. Makes you want to get away from home and on the road.
The writing came from the road. So I so have to agree! 🙂
Wonderful words about the vibrant May! May here is beautiful too, not totally like how you experienced it. Your photo makes me want to go for a road trip now!
May in California is not always that beautiful! It’s sunny, dry, and pricking heat. But this year is pleasant.
“The sun swimming over a creek.” Beautiful.
That imagery is inspired by all walks in the woods! 🙂
