Porch : Summer Night

How strange and odd
to be out on the porch
after an absence of several months.
I have forgotten the pleasure of being here.
No excuses do I have
for avoiding this place.
I heard the summer night call to me
and remind me of the pleasure
I was denying myself.
It’s a pleasant shock indeed
to be out here at 8:45 PM
and still see sunshine.
It almost makes me wonder –
will it stay this light all night?
