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
