Seek Harmony

Steal Some Quiet Moments

Birds of spring are quiet

Birdsong rarely drifts on breeze

Babies raised; no need to sing

No mates do they need to please

Humid heat still saps my strength

Often hide within my home

Where machine creates cool drafts

Find comfort in red brick dome

But in cool early morning

Before sun drifts over trees

I steal some quiet moments

Stroll garden with bumblebees

Hummingbird zips in circles

Sipping from flower teacups

Hear hum of vibrating wings

Delight in dawn's pick-me-up

Overhead blue jays complain

See no peanuts on deck rail

They must wait a little bit

As I explore my garden's trail

No cucumbers on green vine

But okra is growing fast

Big yellow blooms promise more

Harvest of okra will last

Heart shaped leaves of spring's violets

Create clumps of deep green rugs

A rustle under green leaves

Hope lizard is catching bugs

Loud calls pierce cool morning air

Reminding me blue jays wait

Lay out a line of peanuts

Blue and white feathers pulsate
