Ruined By Heat.

I lay awake all night,

The heat stopping me from sleeping.

The fan trying to keep me cool,

But sleep evades me.

Dawn arrives and up I get,

I go downstairs,

Open the doors ,

And a fine cooling breeze

Wafts through the house,

And in that cooling breeze

I write these words,

These words of gratitude

For the joy of Nature

Keeping me cool,

Even though I know

I know it will not last long,

As the heat of the day

Will once more ruin my day.
