Summer Morning
Virginia Salter


morning dresses up the day
as trees swing and sway
to the music of the wind

sun slowly climbs elm’s height
crow and gull take flight
as I watch from the wings

in the distance
fires burn casting their scents
to wind’s flow

scratching into our vision
a stinging that permeates
our hope in these hours

leaving an element of concern
for land, animal
and the caretakers

summer is short
for many
yet long for field and stream

and scream of blaze
that seeks to devour
with licks of flame

take action, oh, Farmer,
raise high your shield
may water be the sword you wield
