Set Us Afire

The sun went behind cobalt clouds
Once again, but came out
Leaving those clouds 'pon the horizon
Those sunbeams now so stout

Clouds slowly thicken come together 
Almost block the sunbeams
Gradually slowly the sun's covered
But its presence is supreme

As the water sprinkler clicks round
Hangs up in the tulip tree
Its presence becomes so much quieter
Reducing the noise with ease

The sun is completely covered 
Daily sounds come alive
Baying hounds, songbirds, and tires spin
Each with its own wive

Down where the mimosa blossoms
Areas become drier
Each day, help us by restoring
Your Spirit, set us afire

stout--meaning here is dependable

I am able to go out a little while in the morning early now because there is a good temperature, and the worse pollen is gone now. I think they are so delicate looking, but boy are they invasive. Sara
