Trapped
inside by this humid haze
My thoughts,
a foggy slug
Dullness is
the drink of the day,
—I can
barely breathe!
—I can
barely move!
and I don’t
care if I do either…
But, then a
cool breeze starts to play
among the
leaves in my backyard,
and dappled
sunlight does a dance
on the
surface of the deck and table
igniting
just a little spark of life in me.
Suddenly the
trees begin to sway
they clap
their hands as Wind blows
all the
humidity away!
I turn the
roaring air conditioner off!
Flinging
windows wide,
I let the
Wind inside!
Now the
sounds of Nature fill my ears
My thoughts,
my mind becoming clear,
I just need
to go outside it seems,
And awaken
from these lethargic dreams!
