August Benediction

August Benediction

August sun sends its heat

and the earth lays wide.

Flat fields shimmer

tall wheat ripens

the earth bakes.

All creatures seek shade

as the haze builds and thickens.

This summer day

compels repose.

This heat a benediction,

a heavy warm hand

pressing down.
