White Cool Sun blazoned grasses ’neath dark withering leaves curling ’round petals that bore earth and love scents moments ago heat springs eternally internal in summertime… some cracks in the concrete would fill in, maybe with running waters, but only if it could melt rock once again… and backlighting comes in through a window moment when veins of leaves are sun-struck showing their need to them that would smile knowing they turned just to watch the sun set. They do, you know. Even as a day’s heat will bake them dry bringing them near close to extinction… still, leaves and scented petals will follow the sun, until the white cool of moon lets them just be. © Karilea Rilling Jungel July 21, 2006 For Martie, who was watering the parched. |

"They do, you know.

Just beautiful Karilea! It has been so hard keeping up with the watering this summer. What a scorcher it has been. Hugs~Nancy For it was not into my ear you whispered |

We gaze upon our favored flowers but cannot mete their healing powers. We know our soul absorbs such bowers As joy within ascends new towers. Lovely to read you. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
