A calm pink and blue sky sets the scene for a return to normalcy and light. There is a change in the air, a feeling of the mending of the structure of reality. The birds in the garden partake of the poetry of the replenishment of the water from the hose coming from miles and miles away to sparkle in the rising sun. Jesus said deliver us from evil and lead us not into temptation. And when deliverance comes let us relax and enjoy it — no need to yammer on and on. Yet we may also speak and our words may form poems to describe the rising and to celebrate the sky. Let us go then into the day. And let us go then, you and I.
"There is a change in the air
a feeling of the mending of
the structure of reality."
I fear it is an illusion. But nature moves on, perhaps not totally ignorant of our self-destruction, but with every sunrise says, "I will go on. With or or without you, I will go on."
You are aware, aren't you, that that final quote refers to sunset rather than sunrise? And I'm a bit puzzled by that hose which can sprinkle for miles and miles. Are you referring to the dew? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?
At least there is thought in this poem and it isn't mere word-painting. And there are one or two memorable lines and phrases.
