Empyrean


It is a wonderfully cool morning today
A brisk breeze withers through the screens
Leaving a whistle and a rattle
And relief for my aging bones
The dark clouds roil
And occasionally release
Life’s liquid elixir
Tomorrow it will be warm says my radio
And I am happy
The leaves will finish
New shoots will tentatively leave the warmth of earth
Flowers and food will bring beauty and nourishment
I am tired in this pre dawn light
And I am grateful for her
For she provides all that we need
