An Artist’s Touch

An Artist’s Touch

The summer solstice has arrived;
it nurtures life that spring revived
with warmth that winter’s cold deprived.
A time of year nature’s contrived
to show her beauty. Longer days
provide more time to sing her praise.

With her soft touch, she paints the hills
with daisies, dahlias, daffodils.
Across the landscape, color spills.
With each new blossom, she instills
her love of patterns on the earth -
a canvas for the season’s birth.

From shores that shimmer in sunlight
to moon washed mountains in the night,
each setting’s painted to excite
and fill the senses with delight.
With subtle whispers, nature’s art
finds resonance within our heart.
