Array ( [sid] => 50850 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Heavy Heat Settles [time] => 2004-06-07 18:26:25 [hometext] => Inspiration came from the ride home from school. It's ever-so hot and humid today. First real hot day of the year. The trees just look like they're trying to help. Also, this turned into a kind of double meaning. Comments appreciated [bodytext] => A heavy heat settles
Its weight upon every surface
The sweat dissolves
Hanging in the air with the humidity

A heavy heat settles
Its weight upon our chests
Sucking air away as we breathe
Never lifting even after surrender

A heavy heat settles
Its weight upon our eyes
Causing them to droop and close
Drugging us as our bodies grow limp and lethargic

A heavy heat settles
Its weight upon us with no escape
No comfort comes from anywhere


Save the trees
Who strive to create a pleasant breeze



Oh, Trees, your efforts are in vain

Nice! I like the style of this one.
Yet here I am, and it's cool and rainy outside. I'm forgetting heat.
Take care.
Andrew
