the sun has set and the light is fading i still can taste the barbecue sauce of tangy ribs from dinner the soaker hose is hissing feeding the daylilies i often forget to remember to enjoy each and every day of summer the windows all are open a silent soft cool breeze is wafting in the long kitty is purring by my feet the sounds of the world - out there my muscles ache a bit i guess but otherwise i feel at ease remembering the butterflies of today and my grandson's smile a while ago i turned off the light why, i'm not sure - perhaps so i can witness the nightfall the simple experience of now my moment, my heartbeat, my time elapsing evening twilight birdsong a car passing . . . a sudden loss for words |
