Reprieve

a breath drawn ever so lightly

so cautiously aware.

the rain drops fell lightly and kissed the dry ground.

a blessing eases out from under a rock

blood  from a stone turned to wine

the cool breeze caressess

and the heat slips into sleepy embers

the wind gently consoles.

the nagging worry eases on the shoulder

knowing too well the conjuresome

tricks of the fire storm.

a breath, a beat;

a sideways glance;

a view to a kill.
