A Calm Summer Day
Airplanes are painting clouds across a summer sky,
Creating long white tails behind them as they fly.
Nature sits in stillness without a summer breeze,
A calmness across the Earth, touching all the trees.
Nothing wants to move on this windless summer day,
Even the grasses have forgotten how to sway.
The warmth of the sun spreads to where its light can’t go,
Creeping into the shadows where smaller plants grow.
The flying of the birds brings movement to the scene,
A swaying branch shows where a squirrel has just been.
Bees are collecting nectar in the flower beds,
Leaving behind a trail of bobbing flower heads.
The stillness of the weather, a calm summer day,
Reminds us that the world can let time drift away.
The busyness of nature, birds singing their song,
Reminds us that the world is never still for long.
