The sun taps on my window.
Hot golden rays play in the garden.
The birds, tired and thirsty hide within the bushes.
How I wish I could bring them inside
and let them rest their hot, dusty wings and take a nap on my bed...
Everything feels slow,
and just like in the dead of Winter, every creature seeks shelter.
Mother Nature is here to remind us of her power and our fragility.
The heat renders me motionless but my mind is wandering, dreaming. Standing here anything is possible, anything is true...
"Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child.
Listen to the DONT'S
Listen to the SHOULDNT'S
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WONT'S
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me-
Anything can happen child,
ANYTHING can be".
(Shel Silverstein)

Oh, Alina, you have a powerful way with words! I appreciate the poetic take on the heat. It lifts me up!
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm glad to hear from you - I worry about my friends who are farther south than me - I worry that you're all comatose by now!
I am wafting cool wishes your way.
Love, me xo
Lovely thoughts. This heat is dreadful, isn't it? I so worry about the poor animals outdoors.

ReplyDeleteGoodness Alina ~ I can almost feel your heat! I would send you some of our cool rain if I could. That would get you and all the critters cooled off! Rain rain ~ too much rain! :(
ReplyDeleteWhy does the weather mock us so? Too hot in some places, too cold in others, and too wet still in other places. sigh... we are never happy with the weather are we?
Hope you are having a Happy Wednesday friend!
