Days Roll Slow

sugar cane flowing 
like ocean waves
Florida winds blow 
as egrets hunt lunch
tapestry woven in a
wildness of saw grass
buzzards perch on 
branches of dead oak
dragonflies rest on 
blades of palmetto
unscrupulous clouds 
build to a tempest
horizontal rains pelt 
all within the glades
saunters by quickly; 
sun now reappears.
curtains of humidity
held in a damp grip
songbirds fluttering
the gators cruising;
great Florida swamp;
days roll by slowly.
