Third of July

our roses

It is a day of no obligations
and no great ambitions
and enough heat to arrest
in mid stride
most anything we might try

Yet we have managed
to do a few things
and get some water
to our seedling dreams
and as the blessed coolness
stirs the evening,
we will sleep well
and grow a little newer.
