Jet lights pass between stars clustered in late night sky Balm of coolness breezes release from heat held day Footsteps crunch across brittle crisp of dry dead grass Garden hose with at first warm water snakes along to refresh and refill Porch chairs creak then candlelight flickers upon listeners to the night LGR©7/18/12 |

Yep, I've heard those sounds and you've put them to pen very nicely in this writing. Something about that calm that's so penetrating to the senses. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

You put me on that porch with you. Wonderful poetry. "The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."-Vladimir Lenin |
