Back yard abuts a soybean field.
Her hubby built a gazebo for her
Behind the house.
The screening keeps the bugs out but
Not the breeze.
I'm sitting in the six-sided structure this
Morning sipping my coffee.
I'm enjoying the solitude, the green
Expanse and the non-stop chattering of
The insects, probably griping because they
Can't get to me.
I hear the geese honking before I notice them
Flying v-shaped overhead.
They won't bother to stop here.
I'm glad.
The refreshing air, the serenity surrounding me draws
Out all my stress.
I see God everywhere I look.
I'm getting my nature fix before it gets too
Hot, and before I need to go back inside and
Mop the kitchen floor.
