Late Summer Afternoon

Just a moment in a late summer day

Wind whips round, 

rustling leaves on a late summer’s afternoon.

Heat distorts images on the horizon, 

a constant moment, 

this heat will not end.

In the distance, a jingle of Green Sleeves plays for children, in need of relief and tasty treats.

Nothing stirs on this day, 

just a moment passing, 

a light breeze blows, 

cooling sweat.

Crows caw calling to each other, 

a Heron skillfully fishes in the warm pond out back.

Cicadas constant drone akin to  tinnitus humming in the ear,

 I was going to do more.

The lawn can be mowed tomorrow,

 I will just watch the clouds drift by, 

passing time.

Author's Note

It was the end of summer, I wanted to freeze a moment of time with words.

Awe, thank you. Just expressing how I feel. I enjoy drifting in clouds, smiling in the sunshine and the tender touch of summer.
