Seasonal Fragrances

Seasonal Fragrances

Spring smells like sweet honeyed clovers

Sweet smell of purple lilacs wafts through the air

Soft scent of lilies of the valley accompanies one along the lane

As warm rain awakens the earthy scent of fresh soil

Fresh mown grass transitions from spring to summer

Smells of summer blend with sun-dried sheets swaying on a clothesline

Inviting smokey aromas of backyard charcoal grills calls all to dine

Coconut sunscreen fused with chlorine from pools, captures summer’s essence

Musty smell of damp, falling leaves tells of autumn approaching

Warm notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove blend together

With harvest time scents of pumpkins, fresh picked apples and hot cider

Whiffs of smoke fill the air as fireplaces are lit to ward off evening’s chill

Air fills with crisp, clean fragrance of falling snow as winter quietly arrives

Warm chocolate, marshmallow sweetness of hot cocoa mingle

With essence of holiday candles and spicy fragrance of cookies baking in the oven

Together with aromatic scents of pine, spin the tales of festive joy

Each season carries special fragrant traces of it’s own

Scented memories of past times and blessings of those yet to come

From first floral blossoms of spring to piney aromas of winter

Life’s fragrant, sweet moments drift gently through our senses
