Shade

by

shade

i set out to find a shaded piece of the park where hopefully
the temperature would cool me down
i was anything but a walk in the park

yet a walk in the park

i found a promising piece
settled into a comfortable position
and took faster breaths as i lost my air of confidence

i wished i hadn’t found shade

i would’ve kept walking too
but midsummer heat was coming back for fall i would’ve kept walking
until everything taller than i am
was suddenly gone

everything that provides a shade to sit and talk to You
