Summer Intermission
Placid river barely moving
Clear of sediment now settled
Summer reeds are gently writhing
Bed is lucent, pebble speckled
Willow fronds moved by faint zephyr
Twine in lithe adagio dance
Aspens whisper trembling measure
Senses all becalmed, entranced
Movements so decelerated
Where compulsion to align?
Days of sun intoxicated
Let the clock subdue it’s chime
Too soon: life’s twilight; drawn: the blind
May time pass slowly; I’ll not mind
