Hush

Hush

Last night,

another apricot sunset

leaves parched lips

puckered in anticipation

of a sloppy wet kiss

This morning,

the young doe rises

 in the long shadows of dawn

 from the verdant alfalfa field

leaps gracefully over the electric fence and

concrete irrigation ditch in one smooth motion

in a reminder of the beauty of God's creation

So I pause once again

as the babbling of water

through blue and white plastic ditch

calms my wound tight heart

pondering how the holy hush of daybreak seduces

and remembering His goodness to me
