Sunlit shafts streak in rays across celestial blue skies,
pink fluffy pendulous blossoms wave their clusters in the breeze,
the vivid startling green of spring appears.
Lucky are those who see this sight of approaching summer,
the russet copper tones of the Lincoln Reds standing proud and in our view.
The old bent ivy entwined gnarled trees start their fight for a few covered branches,
the lavender coloured lilac returns once more to please eager eyes.
A daily delight for you my love as this season returns once more, this quality that does not vary,
bringing a stillness to the land, gone are the painful gales of Winter.
Something strong, something constant and unchanging,
something to entice you from your bed...
Your wish to see these jewelled days has been granted.
Was he listening when I called to him?
Did he paint this picture just for you?

how delicately sweet your words are... gentle like that spring breeze. I love the lilacs too, though ours have pretty much been wiped out by heavy rains. The views of your village are always enjoyable!
Even without the benefit of the lovely photos, I can see and smell your beautiful village in my mind's eye !
I hope you and Hamada will have good weather to enjoy the views to the full....we have had torrential rain here today, much to the detriment of my poor clematis, which is looking very battered !
No wonder you had to capture these images in words... To me, words covey the soul of a scene, which a picture alone doesn't do.
Thank you Sandy I felt an urge to capture the changing season once again, such a very beautiful time in our little part of the world and much loved by Hamada. Alas the blossom never last for long but are so beautiful while here.
@ Elizabeth @ The Garden Window, My clematis have taken a battering too, such a shame when they look so flawless for a time. Hamada has his special chair right by the garden window and his bedroom overlooks the garden too - he loves to watch the birds feeding on a nearby bird table checking off the species. Take care.
@ Jinksy - we have beautiful natural views from our windows across farm land but I know I can never do the beauty justice with my words, still if I can convey a little of what I see for those less fortunate who are not able to see the countryside, then that is all I wish.
"Your wish to see these jewelled days has been granted."
I love these words, for the obvious reason and so much more.
