Joys of July (So far…)

I have been soaking up summer over the past 2 weeks. Here are 2 poems that capture a few moments of joy in July so far.

In the Lavender Fields was inspired while doing yoga in the rows between lavender plants. It was a beautiful, peaceful experience. I hope my words capture that calmness so you can feel it as well.

The next poem was inspired by the fireflies I watch each night in my backyard. To me, it is a magical part of the evening. I will go out each night that I can for the “Firefly Half Hour”. There are so many blinks, flashes and winks within only a minute. It is a nightly light show that I treasure. I hope my words capture the magic as well as the joy and calm of this nightly treat.
