Heat of the Day

Smoldering in the shade fatigue overwhelms in waves Soaked by your own sweat coolness you can't forget Dying in the heat of the day wishing the sun would go away Skies never so blue not a cloud to shadow you Water warm but accept all you thrist is for wet It's only mid day into the horizon hot blaze Death Valley is not what you feel it would be cooler in August's hell Who made this heat everyday when will it go away Driving you reach the exit finally your leaving summer in Texas

Little warm down there? ;-) If it's worse than Furnace Creek, it must be really bad! Enjoyed ~ john
