Shall I compare her to a May Day May 1, 2014

 

It is not summer I compare her to but to spring, this fine May Day when green breaks through the grey, summer too brutal a season to seek, even though rough winds of this season may blow away the buds we hope for, the long days of summer do not happiness make, I ache for a moderate day like this, when warmth seeps into my cold bones, slowly transforming what we thought of as deceased into something that again breathe, I will not compare her to those scolding days when the harsh yellow eye spies us from above, it’s strength has no mercy, a season as brutal with its raging heat as its sister does in the depths of winter, too much in the world dimmed by two bright a light, just as our world grows numb when there is none but Gray, yet I will say, I ache for the immortality of May when we can cling to the hope of what we feel will not fade
