Promises

The grasses bend their golden heads under 
the dusty-hot sun, aching burden of 
catatonic stillness, joints sticky shafts
creaking in the quiet.

Somewhere a sound stirs that 
is not tempest or fire but a restless
excitement for the forthcoming--a 
palpable ambient electricity. 

Slowly at first, the grasses raise their heads
and dance--their rustlings assuring 
whisperings--a comforting caress 
rippling to every horizon of the soul.
