Nap Time
Bright sun and the steady hum
of insects
casts a lullaby
a sound of summer that soothes.
In the cool shade beneath this roof
a drowsy state descends
upon us friends.
Midway along this alfalfa-scented day
hours to go before more sweet hay
until then, here we stand:
drooping lips, misty eyes
swishing tails shooing flies.
Sunlight and shadow
silence and sound
Time passes and stands still
all at once
Contrasts combine in a somnolent blend.
It breathes sleep upon us
cradles us
in this golden hour.
