Heat of the Day

The stillness hangs over the air
Not a leaf moves
The grass stands still
The heat of the day is stifling 
A drop of sweat rolls down my check
My flowers all bend their heads 
The garden all thirsty 

The heat of the day has touched every living thing
I am thankful for the cool water I can drink
