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
