Tonight a Breeze Is Stirring

Hot as blazes summer days
  die gasping for breath
A hazy curtain of humidity
  stifles the earth to death

But tonight a breeze is stirring
  injecting life in the air, so 
I bid adieu to my steaming house
  and went to sleep out there

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 6/1/2022 12:50:00 PM In Greece a great majority of houses have a flat roof, families lock up the house and go upstairs under the starry sky, with a mosquito can, to avoid the heat of a home. Well penned Gershon. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer. Login to Reply

L Milton Hankins Date: 5/31/2022 8:41:00 AM Ah, that seems a wise choice. I remember those days before A/C when we would sleep out on a blanket out in the yard. The cool mountain air was so pleasant. Those were the days, my friend.... Login to Reply

Judy Ball Date: 5/31/2022 1:29:00 AM I can't seem to sleep without my fan even though my bedroom in downstairs in the basement. I still need the air moving. Nice job. God Bless, JB Login to Reply

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 5/30/2022 9:25:00 PM I am so thankful to have air-conditioning or a fan. We have centipedes here so sleeping outside doesn’t appeal to me. They are very creative at getting inside. I certainly remember those long hot summer nights. Very good Gershon. Blessings xxoo Login to Reply
