My
July
My birth month
Bring on the sparks
Bring on siestas
Bring gratitude for shade
And breezes -- for all mercies:
Small as ants whose dance goes noticed
Subtle as haze distilled to diamonds
Ephemeral as dewy dawn
Profound as dreams of thunder
Hail Dali-drooping days
And lazy wonder
Embrace ennui
Celebrate
July
Me

About the Creator
Sonia Heidi Unruh
I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.
