Enjoying the warmth of this seasonal guest’s visit and wanting her to linger
August sunshine splashes through the window
onto the guest room floor
on a still Tuesday morning
marked by cricket hum backdrop.
The season has seasoned,
summer establishing herself
in this dear month
of pleasant present,
not seeking to impress,
but just being irresistibly lovely and intentional,
splashing her August sunshine
onto my guest room floor.
