In the delicate, soft summer breeze, the sun shines warmly on my back, casts it's invitation, entices all to enjoy. Crickets buzz happily in the distance, as wind rustles through the leaves. The plush green beauty of rolling hills takes the breath away, With it's wonderfully decorated accents, mosaic mixtures of brightly colored flowers litter countryside landscapes. One is magically and mysteriously transformed. Thoughts of winter, far from the mind, linger behind a masked veil and leaves a bitter after-taste. The desire to freeze this frame, and relive this summer experience, day after day, becomes an obsession. As days become shorter, reality nears, and leaves a heart felt sadness. I wish time could stand still and freeze this frame. Karen Calaiezzi Toronto, Canada stcalaiezzi@sympatico.ca
