Summer Wind

Alone to escape the rush of light
the garments from the sun
 embellishing itself in earthly flight
that set the ally cat to run

finding solace, in the shadows rhelm
that gather near bush and tree
What Lord rests now at the helm
that dares to set man free.

This unrelenting wave of heat
has set the soul to thirst and flight
to gasp in awe at the noonday feat
now one prays for the rhelm of night

our hopes are that a breeze appear
and reap solace in its domain
but now the brow has sweat with fear
from a stoic glance at a weather vane

now planted like a straw scarecrow
that frightens all life away
no breeze to set it to spin and tow
to lend motion to this day.
