{ A taste of summer (DAY 460) }

photo(56)There are a myriad of stairs like a ladder to all that heavenly blue so up, up, up I go.
We  w~ i~ n~ d  our way through the trees towering above us.

The heat is prevalent.  My pores want to surrender their nectar.  My nose inhales the sticky sweet smelling scent of pine.  It can’t help but make me smile.

Face shining I lift it to the glowing sun that’s pulling something out of all of us today.  I think it’s pure joy.  Beckoning with its sultry rays I want to be all there, to soak up enough light.

As we stroll through the tall pillars of green and bark I look something of a mess with my long dark tresses draped over my bare shoulders and back and my silk dress resembles that of a child’s all full and shapeless.  Blood is pumping through my veins and I don’t care how I look because I’m alive, in fact I feel beautiful.  Vain you might think but it’s not the outward appearance that it is making me smile…it’s the feeling of life dazzling me like a diamond.

Biting into a peach I can taste the spring in it.  It’s a bit unripe but the full blown lushness of summer will come soon enough.  Today has been a taste of that.
