Poem – An August Pause

Silent house, the world asleep

Chilly breeze through the open window

Trees limbs rustle, green leaves rattle

I journey back  from vacation today

Back to the heat, humidity, summertime

But for a week I was here

Enjoying the cooling kiss of the mountaintop

I’m kind of an old dude, so this song has been running through my head for the last couple of days.  It just pops in there when I look out at the hills in the distance.
