AFTER TROUBLED SLEEP

Awoke to the evening,

after falling asleep

to the sound of

an afternoon thunder,

rose up into

gloom and silence,

thunder and rain

passed,

stepped outside

on to the now frail porch

he made so long ago,

so short years ago,

birds silent

in their damp nests,

fresh fragnance

of a nourished nature.
