Listen audio

the primrose

on the lanai flowers confidently
hugged by generous basal leaves
deep fleshy green and gentle

thriving on easy june days
with simple needs watering

and the sun of course
our great yellow-hot balloon
floats constant and carefree

out of reach but touching
offers warm light nurturing

without asking or hesitation
like a good friend
