A to Z Challenge _ Z is for Zephyr

I wrote this poem in fifteen minutes as I sat by the open door with a gentle night breeze playing on my skin.
.
Zephyr Breeze
.
Zephyr breeze
Wafts through the window,
Bringing soft coolness
To fevered brow.
.
Zephyr breeze
Stirs autumn trees,
Causing golden shower
Of whispering leaves.
.
Zephyr breeze
Drifts in from the ocean,
Bringing the promise
Of evening rain.
.
Zephyr breeze
I wished you a tempest,
Reflecting the tumult
Of my grieving soul.
.
Zephyr breeze
Instead you stayed gentle,
Easing the turmoil
And bringing me peace.
.

The featherlight touch of evening – a very special moment.

Great way to end. I had thought about doing this (a to z) but glad I didn’t as writing the blog of our time in France is exhausting enough. Thanks for your inspiration.
