Second Wind
Walkin’ in sunfogged early morning
Waiting for pain to go away
The aches and stiffs that come with rising
Off to build a brand new day
Summer thrives on making lazy
But Fall slips in to have her way
Watching shadows of the pebbles
High light the gravel textured road
careful stepping through the ridges
rolling stones so softly toed
Don’t look up the sun is blinding
Stiffness loosens lower neck
In the life of waking woodland
Light scatters lifting of each leaf
A quick deep breath and almost skipping
Not halfway done and sweet relief
