The Evening Pause
Under the cover of darkness waves of lush gale winds softly graze my skin
the night is apt to give warm hugs for long seconds while I drape myself across the porch swing
the dampness in the air does not distract
the lightning bugs flash on and off and on and off
I am tempted to gather them in jars as we once scurried to do as children
Its nice
No one is moving about the city streets
no random kitties or pups running stray
the lights in the sky are as glints in bright eyes of babes
Drawn to a long yawn and a curling of the neck and the stretching of the legs
fresh rains have cleared and cleansed all places
fresh mowed grass fills the evening air
the rains and showers will come again soon
peace is abounding
