Summer Breeze



The warm summer breeze
played tag with the lace curtains
at my window
 
As the bright morning light
stenciled lacy silhouettes
against the wall,
the smell of freshly cut grass
lingered in as well
 
The open window...
An invitation beckons
 
The screen door slams behind me
 
I love the wind...
feeling it’s invisible touch
brushing past
My breathe drinks it in
 
So filled with melancholy,
there is barely but a
whisper of presence felt
 
Yet, at the same time
I feel comforted by
dawn’s warming affection
 
Birds sing softly as if to whisper,
dry your earnest tears…
 
The wake of each step echoes,
loving thoughts of you

  6. The gentlest moments (mercifully) are those at pre-dawn when I'm forced to get up for work and the whole world barely whispers. Your poem has this feel, so quiet, so gentle.
