The breeze blows green kisses

Across bare skin

We spread our arms to feel each breath

Everything lifts and flutters:

Hair, dresses, shirts, spirits

Feet dance across the drenched grass

In the distance, the mountain sighs

Someone flies a dragon kite

This is a day for grace and glory

A once-upon-a-story time

Weeks later, we will say

Remember that hallelujah day?
