June

A beautiful poem which conjures up all that we love about the month of June

June

Blow gentle Summer breeze for me, go softly on your way,
Shine longer Summer sun for me, to brighten my life’s day,
Bring me a month of memory, of birdsong at the dawn,
Give me a month to treasure dear, as each new day is born.

Let a panoramic carpet grow, of Summer flower’s bloom,
Weave your magic in the meadows just before the harvest moon,
With new growth in all abundance and balmy heady days,
And just the gentle shimmer of a glistening heat haze.

And give to me an evening of a warmer milder air,
And the sweetened smell of new mown hay to perfume everywhere,
Then grant us, in your wisdom, the gift of sight to see,
This land of scent and beauty – and calm tranquility.

I am a 71 year old retired coal miner, who spent 30 years working underground. Having time on my hands, and in order to keep my brain exercised, I decided to try to write poetry and put down on paper some of my life experience, and my hopes, dreams and other thoughts. I also do a little gardening, but I am hopeless at housework. Much to my wife's displeasure.
