Outside My Home's Front Door

36 14 21
                                    

Whispers from glowing green leaves

As tepid breeze ebbs and flows

Sun slides low behind our homes

Cardinal chirps a late hello


My neighborhood is quiet

Day of sizzle left folks drained

I cruise my flower gardens

Clip flowers before they've waned


I fill an old tall glass vase

With soft white and orange blooms

And water from garden's tap

Spray brightens dim evening gloom


Delighted I stepped outside

And set aside late day chores

To hear soft songs on the wind

Right outside my home's front door
