Respite

10/18/2022

in a world of bright faces
wide smiles and sunny hellos,
i am wind that brings in the clouds
to offer shade below

i am the touch of a sudden chill
to heal your sun-scorched day,
the beautiful smell of coming rain
to wash the grit away

i am the sound of a bubbling spring
just up around the bend,
a place to rest and catch your breath
as the day comes to an end

we'll clear the sky to sit together
and watch the moon rise high,
She'll bless us both and off we'll go
with rested wings to fly
