Loud sounds of people
Have faded tonight
Only soft humming
From cars out of sight
Mowers are silent
Everyone inside
Everything is soaked
But I will not hide
Soak up cooling breeze
Watch two blue jays fight
Sun sparkles through trees
Soothed by dappled light
Stroll through my garden
Cleome glows deep pink
Milkweed is blooming
A monarch's life link
Catnip is spreading
Where many cats roll
Soft spikes of purple
Where bumblebees toll
Rose champion jewels
White diamonds abound
Red rubies shine too
Three feet from brown ground
Days of rain pouring
Are now in the past
With days of bright sun
All plants will grow fast
Throughout garden bed
Are vining green weeds
Charlie is creeping
Wild strawberries bead
As night blankets rise
I embrace soft sheet
Through lips slip a sigh
Plush pillows I greet
Summer night's music
Symphony of tones
Tonight, I slumber
And rest weary bones
Tomorrow is war
And murderous deeds
In my garden bed
Towards all creeping weeds
