June Love-song

This poem was inspired by a text I received from Jim (hubby)this morning at 6:15 😍 Well, what better way to start the daythan a hymn extoling June and its Creator?!! A lupine-appliqued blanket gloriously unfurled... On gentle raindrop waltzes,...(we are rain-jewel thirsty in southern Ontario!This morning a few gems fell) Your flower-pot-prettied porches,(The blue pot from my sister for my birthday)💖 I love your bachelor-buttoned blue... your peony-pink, oh... I love to be breath-taken by fields, white with daisy-snow... I love the way you wind your brooks through nooks and crooks of earth... How each new day you toss a lure of pure June-happinessTo life’s care-laden thoroughfare, where awed wonder gives birthTo picnic-humble platitudes of joy and thankfulness... …and frisky foals,(below photo May, before the smoke haze was quite as dense as it is now) This poem is a collection of delights from the first week of June(except for 'the blue-sky afternoon!)This year June-blue skies have been obliterated by smoky hazedue to many forest fires!Our thoughts and prayers are with those directly affectedand esp. the many who are battling the blaze! *** I love you, June. Ah, you must be the jewel in time’s crownA lupine-appliqued blanket gloriously unfurledA green pasture and still water tableau, hayfields, fresh mownEach garden, like a bit of Eden in a broken world I love you, June. Your early daybreak, and dusk’s lingering sighYour purple wild-phlox rivers pooled where highways run betweenYour flower-pot-prettied porches, fledglings, learning to flyI love your backdrop rich with every nameless shade of green I love your bachelor-buttoned blue, your peony-pink, ohAnd how each tree-top plays a perfect, leaf-lush hymn of praiseI love to be breath-taken by fields, white with daisy-snow(Thank God, nature is oblivious to mankind’s godless/thoughtless ways) I love the way you wind your brooks through nooks and crooks of earthHow each new day you toss a lure of pure June-happinessTo life’s care-laden thoroughfare, where awed wonder gives birthTo picnic-humble platitudes of joy and thankfulness Thank-you God, for Your faithfulness where our faithfulness failsThank-you God, for your mercies and your Word to keep hope strongThank-you God, for the season that lavishes and regalesLong-barren breadth; your handiwork bursts into bloom and song I love you June, the way you cheer a world with much amissYou gild the lily-chalice with dew-diamonds, wonder supsOn gentle raindrop waltzes, on sweet, red strawberry kissOn meadows, flaunting fleabane stars and yellow buttercups …and frisky foals, and flocks of sheep; hollyhock sentinelsWisteria-woven awning beneath blue-sky afternoonAnd ageless Anne-of-Green-gable-like thrills where laughter swellsAs a world full of kindred spirits sing, 'I love you, June' ...no one can copyright the beauty God alone bestowsAh, June is like a showcase where masterpieces aboundTo frameless canopies, where the Artist's brushstrokes composeRoses and hummingbirds, sweet summer breaking holy ground © Janet Martin Great are the works of the LORD;they are pondered by all who delight in them.
