The Shades Of May Poem by Robin Bennett

Once all I had
were shades of May-
dreaming my way through
a blustery February winter's day
insignificant and small
or so it seemed-
now a name for a place
once dreamed

A memory now
that shall stay within me-
tucked away in a place
where only I may see
I can wander there
whenever I need
A place to escape-
a place to be free

So much soul searching
left ahead-
now I dance
in the present instead
always knowing-
there is a special place
that I can fly off to-
just in case

Wrapped up for the future
in a nice little bow-
always knowing
there is a kingdom
from once ago
no matter what time of year-
or time of day
I will always have sweet memories-
in the shades of May
