lilac night
you are drenched in quiet light
breathing in the creamy air
so cool and refreshing
from the sweltering day.
The clouds, like plump plums
are rolling over the horizon by
the dozens, sweetly jumping
to navy darkness. Caressing
the shadowed houses to
their beds.
Lilac night,
lavender growing in the sky
and swaying, a field of beauty.
After a day of lonely working
you are my kind relief.
