The pink trumpets outside my window

 

Those pretty blossoms in pink

Are just everywhere you see

They come in the sweltering April sun

Their beauty second to none

 

Bathing the streets in hues of love

Vibrant pinks and lilacs soft

Like a bridesmaid in a shapely gown

Walking gracefully through the town

 

I look down from my window

At the top of a pink tabebuia tree

Warm breeze rustling its flowers

Like the forgotten song of old lovers

 

It stands tall, sheltering the birds

From the wrath of the summer heat

Giving shade to those who seek

Spreading joy to the weak

 

And then I tell my heart

Blazing in its own summer sun

To find the pretty tabebuias

While it waits for the season to turn
