a cooler day

after this rain cool breeze and sun
colours never faded in the least
blue clear above to furthest east
day continues on its steady run
such clarity will when all's done
promise great rejoicing and feast
all pain and suffering then released
whether or not the race is won
so here and there smallish birds
flit and peck and day rejoices
at their continuing evidence
for life is more than simple words
more appears in their voices
than in ordinary speech or sense
