Ode to an August Morning
Away from the the heat that fills the August afternoon
The morning in August refreshes and revives
like precious REM sleep it entices the body to stay much longer than it should
Work must be done in the cooling world
The mind says get it done and you wont have to do it in the sweat covered dusty afternoon that August ensures
The heart begs to stay in this cool limbo just a little longer
Its great here. This is why you are alive
The breeze seduces your surrender
But no you must go on
You must face the day and what it brings
Pull up! Pull up!
or face the sweet surrender to the siren call of the cool summer morning
It might be too late.
The mind says so much to do
The heart says its okay enjoy the cool

It's so frustrating to wake up "late" and realize that you've lost your cool window of opportunity!
