Cool Night Connection

Open windows in the evening–
Screech Owl’s call winnows on the breeze, wafting
alongside the sweet scent of milkweed moving
with the perfume of spoors and minerals ascending.

The sounds and smells of summer nights–
tuck-in, comfort, and tune a dreamer’s insight.
Memories of feelings flood and take flight.
Gentle drizzle offers the morning call respite.

Wake gradually in the foggy haze–
A still, quiet morning feels lonely and strange.
The sun is warming and humidity starts to rise.
Close the windows– disconnect from outside.

In the controlled nest– elements at bay,
comfort is the regulation of nature indefinitely.
