Cool Breeze

Finally a cool breeze,

just now before midnight,

from the maddening heat,

at last there's some respite.

Now the crickets begin

their ancient nightly chant.

Through the clouds high in

the east lightning cracks.

Again and again it flashes,

but doesn't thunder much,

or if it does it's so far,

the sound is hushed.

Tonight the air is fresh,

like a pure mountain rain

has washed the air

from the heat of today.

Out above the lake the

skies are still quite clear.

God that breeze is nice.
