Springtime Breeze

An errant breeze
Carried the sweet scent
Of Honey locust blossoms

My attention caught
I raised my head
To inhale deeply

And I thought
“how many people
Walk in beauty? ”

And never even
Raise their head
To seize

The Spring…
the blossoms…
The scent,

Of honey locusts blossoms
Carried on
An errant Springtime breeze
