Awake, spirit!
Hear the breeze
That whistles
Through the cracks.
The heat has
Led you astray.
You staggered
Seeking shade
From any angle,
Bruising your instinct
Hampering your sight.
Tilt your hat
And reach the safety
Of the deep, leafy glade.
Smile and know
You are saved.
It is amazing how much we are saved by a shade. Often we do seek it from any angle.
ReplyDeleteAs life giving as the sun is, it certainly overdoes its duty and makes us hide from its hot embrace!
