June Perfume

locust trees and lupines
and pungent pine pollen and wild
roses growing along the river
and green grass just-cropped
send their sweet scent
wafting on gentle winds
past my nose

The Earth Is Breathing

The Earth is breathing
out the fragrance of seas
and flowers and trees

on a gentle breeze
