unexpected

i am unglued sitting here in solitude

late august surrounds me, birds are chirping

sunlit trees' leaves keep my company

muscles loose, droop, my nerves unstretched

a chopper's throbs beat the air to shout out claps of pain

it's doppler waves of retreating speech, 

complain refrains its ever diminishing echoes, "an,,,oth,,,er hard,,, day,   good,,, day,,, bye,,, bye,,,"

the air is sweet, slowly keeps my heart in synchrony

the summer's heat is infamy, 

this rare morning's venue, change of weather unexpected, 

though will not last, 

in the meanwhile i'll make it everlast somehow,

fool myself to breathe, its breath,

renew my tired soul 

of my deplenished resistence to mere, beaten existence

because i know via repeated ongoing persistence, 

life's guaranteed buffets,

the heat, the torment of inexhaustible's diatribe of daily living

throes of ceaseless bad news harbored, 

be released, unleashed hard on the conscience

viral deaths, rampant tragedies, 

faceless children dying, war torn earth

landslide, mudslide, earthquake heartbreak, 

busted, broken, forcible lawless entry

pillage, rape of fellow man,

innocence, love so sweet, 

may the Lord my soul to keep

broken vows, rusted plows, weather beaten lives endowed

the peace somehow still envelopes my skin 

as i sit here undisturbed i remain amazed,

unperplexed as yet, i wonder, my senses asunder

per my usual state of regular affairs, i wonder why

why do i question? 

borne of human habit, no doubt 

just let it all go for now, it will not last

let my soul, my brain, my mind just bask

though i fear it will not last, reprieve at last

let it go, the hammock of my soul

in this moment divine, somehow it's mine
