Hot Summer's Day

I hear chirping birds before rainfall On a hot summer’s day Humidity is thick, like a wall Relief is a raindrop away Tints of green in leaves so still Ready to dance and play The bird bath is waiting for re-fill Again, this hot summer’s day Energy lacking, but I have a will To let go in the rain on my way To the next place I belong In this shelter, I cannot stay There’s no room left to be wrong Heidi Sands 7/19/22
