As morning breaks I am alone
Steaming and beaming a mid-morning toll
The dew befell me and the sun was shone
My heart now empty, soul forlorn.
The breath of the blossoms besought to console
"With thee we will be" the songbirds sweetly sang
Yet as I search skyward all things seem askew
And harrowed my marrow with memories of June.
Flashes of blue and gold panged upon my mind
With wonders and visions of most every kind
While deep in the bowels I was burning with whim
And bursting with sizzle in each of my limbs.
"Take heed" said the flowers whilst slowly the bloomed
"The moon is unearthing, so wisp while we croon"
So I unearthed my knees and left the land well
While I stumbled through heaven
While searching for hell.

Those last two lines are so succinct. It really sums up the poems, brings everything home, and hits you hard. I love this.
