Summer-Fall Silence

as I wait for mornings dawn

&                     i sip my hot tea

&                     it warms my senses

i listen to nature’s silence,

&                     crickets play their song

&                     an old bull-frog calls his mate

i watch the unmoving stars

&                     a slice of moon bright and shining

&                     a falling star flashes across the sky

i feel the morning’s dew fall

&                     cool grass touch my toes

&                     tickles my feet

i smell the damp earth i turned

&                     a fall garden it will be

&                     i will be thankful for it’s bounty

I am alive, Mother Earth,

thank you
