Excerpt from
Remnants of the Past
The Sheltering Wind
After the thaw…
Mariah flung open natures stately front door for the crisp brilliance and fragrance of spring once more.
New buds of purple crocuses woke with a yawn to trilling wind-songs and praises to splendid dawn.
At noon the winds became playful and capricious tickling giggling lilies and new born hibiscus.
Twilight winds a gentle and romantic zephyr kissed primrose petals, the fragrant lips of nature.
Nightly the winds from the sea let breezes escape and blew the sweet scent of hyacinths in her wake.
Mariah made her exit after March was through
April in triple time waltzed out for her debut.
