Permeating everywhere
heaven’s scent again
that ‘lavender time’ is here once more
bring on that sweet refrain
An afternoon spent bagging it
that heady fragrance there
as I breathe in its loveliness
a thing beyond compare
And what is totally sublime
is that throughout the year
I simply have to squeeze a bag
to rekindle summer cheer

[In July each year, one of my favourite pastimes is a day spent bagging the dried crop from my annual lavender harvest. Although I’ve been doing this for years, the last five (2016 through 2020) have been marked with a ‘That lavender time again’ poem, added to Jemverse on 23 July each year]
