Poetry and Occasional Randomness
Calming ocean waves
Your beauty and peacefulness
Lull me to slumber
Sometimes I am glad I take a few extra videos and pictures. I had this one sitting on my phone and I don’t think I posted it before. I took this video when I went down to the beach earlier this year, 2021. How I wish I could just jump into this video and be there right now. Love the ocean, love the beach, anything associated with it.
Hot summer morning
Heat like a force of nature
Mixed with mugginess
Hot afternoon sun
Day consumed by summer heat
Shade offers relief
+
Feels like a day for this song.
Sunny and cloudless
Stretching out across the sky
Summer’s warming rays
Overcast and grey
Clouds fill the hot summer sky
Shutting off the heat
Trees, rich, green, and full
Reflected on the window
Filled with summertime
Sunlight, bright and hot
Thick mugginess in the air
Summer has returned
A crisp and cool breeze
Flowing through this summer day
Feeling like autumn
A hot muggy day
Fierce summer heat has returned
Stifling and steamy
Bright yellow sunshine
Splashing its warmth on the day
July starts to bake
Morning’s arrival
Filled with bright rays of sunshine
Summer’s muggy heat
Dark overcast sky
Moisture heavy in the air
A fresh summer storm
Sunshine blazing hot
Like fire set on a scorched Earth
July summertime
Hot, steamy, muggy
Pavement melting running shoes
Skin burning like fire

Rough night to run with the heat and all. Not sure I am ready for it this year. Guess I better get use to it though. It is going to be in the upper nineties the rest of the week. Anybody else ready for the heat of summer, runner or not?

Warm sun on the horizon
Summer on the way

Time change, longer days, warmer days, so much heading our way. Can’t wait till this winter ends. Who’s with me? Done with winter or do you need just a little bit more?
Cool August morning
Clouds of ashy gray linger
Summer feels like fall
Ceiling fan spinning
City swelters in the heat
A long summer day
−
Soft night-time rain drops
Tap dance against my window
Sleep will arrive soon
Warm moist summer night
Floating yellow lights flicker
Grill smoke still lingers

Please turn on the heat
I need a break from the cold
Summer rescue me
I know we don’t have it as bad down here in North Carolina as some others, but this deep freeze is tough on us. We got hit with a combo yesterday, snow, sleet, and freezing rain. The world looks like the top of a glazed doughnut outside – mmmm doughnuts – and it may not thaw much until tomorrow. So how do you deal with the cold? What gets you through it?
