Night, Wind and Son
.
I wake in the night
To the moon and stars
Shining ever so bright
Embellishing the skies
.
The wind whispers His name
Rustling through the trees
Who are you, I ask
I am He, it replies
.
The Son, heaven’s crown
Blesses all He shines upon
Bringing life-giving rain
Relief from heat and pain

Mornings of mist and mystery
Before the sun awakes,
Slakes his unending thirst,
Drinking the last drops of dew
And sucking dry the clouds
Hanging pregnant in the sky.
Midsummer days…
Breathless pulsating heat
Throbbing through the air,
Life-draining lethargy,
Absolutely no energy…
An artificial atmosphere
Feeding pre-cooled air
Satisfies the well-heeled,
But cold showers are best
For the rest…

Living on the wild side
To the drum beat
Of the unrelenting heat
Simmering air expanding
Respiration harsh beyond belief
Skin weeps
Until the pouring rain
Brings some relief

The beat of heat
From the sun
Caresses my skin
Draws out the sweat
Helps me forget
Winters chill
Unquenchable thirst
I need a draught
A refreshing waft
To shoot the breeze
And be able to breathe

Fickleness
Lying on the sandy beach
Or next to a swimming pool
In the searing summer sun;
Sweating, blistering,
Oh to be cold, oh to be cool!
Braving the open air
In the icy winter cold;
Wrapping up from head to foot,
Frozen extremities,
Oh to be warm, oh to be hot!
Characterized by erratic changeableness or instability, especially with regard to affections or attachments; capricious.
