/Now the deep green cascade of summer
hangs from the edge of a blue silver dawn
in the still air ,trees whispering the name of a hurricane
the yard celebrates last nights rain
our brother hood of squirrels have come to play
big old oaks reaching over
hold the shade at noon
they promise to stand in the storm
still just a whisper in africa
another day brings a sweet heat
distilling thinking into dreams
the evening will be the zephyr
south west wind
kiss of salt from the Gulf
cold beer on ice
with the sundown setting orange fire to the spanish moss
the lights of the city across the bay, twinkle in the twilight
deep in the night the stars answer
the pirate poet sleeps
now dreaming of his love in sweet surrender
