Summer Botany

Summer Botany

Light burst upon the meadow,

Reflections of colour afar.

Wings on wind overhead,

Beasts abound roaming, foraging.

Rattles quaking throughout,

Rusted cocoons splitting apart

Seeds fly, memories lost.

Youthful roots, memories’ origins

In the solstice shadow,

Life birthed upon the meadow.


Poem by Charlie McGrath
