Waterfalls and Other Gifts

It took this mug of morning coffee,
a hunk of time, and sitting quietly
in my easy chair
as another day of heat wave unfolds

to know that even the ever increasing
grumble of the garbage truck
pounding past the window

is like standing naked
underneath a waterfall, refreshed
and sparkling, encompassed

in surprise of sensual baptism
on a Summer's day....
