The day is ending
the air is fresh
the beetle is tending
its scented mesh.
A green butler lost
in a heady perfume,
an old table set
by a crusty old groom.
New life in clusters
new trees in groves
summer unearthing
the new with the old.
My soul is feasting
on celestial dew,
Come take a walk
and I’ll share it with you.

ladyjennie says
Believe me, I know! My time in Djibouti is still fresh in my mind. Like you said, who knew heat could be dust-colored. Hang in there and enjoy all those other fringe benefits, because as you know, there are many!
Kimberly says
My soul is feasting.

Big big sigh . . . . Oh, how I long to be right there.
Jennifer says
Beautiful. And thanks for posting the cute little shutter guy. Do you happen to know what those are called in French?
