Heavy-weight slow steps
linger from dawn till dusk.
No rush, no speed, no haste,
just live at ease.
Every move made
drops sweat in slow motion.
Soothing excitement's speed,
and back to rest.
Crickets sing songs
in everlasting dusks.
Night soothes the day's heat,
sleep will soon come.
Enjoys stillness
as long as she would like.
Duties are far away,
forgotten now.
I just compared summer with an overweight, slow woman lingering through life.
