Listen to poem:
For the Common Good
For the Common Good
David J Walker
The warm summer nights breeze
Becomes the messenger and
The message is the perfumed air
There are many reasons to linger
Under the porch not meant to provide
Protection from an evening’s outside elements
The fresh mown grass releases its
own earthy scent as the sunsets trailing
its lingering rays into a new hue of a blue night
Tomorrows dawn will go beyond the
Expectations of yesterdays prayers
Of those who pray to a common God
For the common good
