Sometimes in the midst
of an overly busy
day, peace thankfully descends.
~
And sometimes that peace
is suddenly shattered by
staccato shooting reports.

What is one to do
when the universe calls for
steam but all the wood is burnt?
~
This is what happens
when the universe calls and
we and the wood are burned out.
Given this horrid
summer inferno, how do
we refrain from eruption?
~
If every day we
let off a little steam, we
might prevent an eruption.
When summer heat holds
us in its sweaty grasp, how
can we not lose our cool?
~
To retain our cool,
seek the shelter of shady
glades and shadowed pools.
On these sunlit days
when even the grouchiest
smile, what is ours to do?
~
We could join them, like
Iguanas, and bask on some
sun warmed stones, leisurely.
