Breath of Summer Unfolds by MJ LaDuke

It is not uncommon for our own children to lead us back to our own childhood.  Today was the perfect day for my journey into the past…..a past of delight and limitless summers where water is my refuge.  A clear blue sky, an omnipresent sun, and water that beckons one to  float, submerge, drift and find relief from the rising heat.
               
Most cannot find solace this early in May, but blessings unfold in mysterious ways. 
Three generations found comfort from the refreshing abyss this day. 
A splash, a laugh, friendship and family intertwine.  The tree of life yields such when water kisses the vine.
Memories flash and smiles remain.  Imprints are created and new joy sustains.
Underneath the clear blue cool, waves reveal the sparkle of the floating azul.
From below the surface the vista breathes comfort and peace, allowing all to rest easily with a dream laden sleep.
Until we gather one more time, the remains of the day are all but mine. 
Welcome us back pool of bliss, for nothing takes the place of the summer's first kiss.

Until we meet again...
