August Afternoon

August afternoons are for rains,

Surprising you even after the sky has been grey all morning,

Waiting to storm the city any moment.

August afternoons are for winds,

That the rains bring,

Cool and gusty easing away all the heat.

August afternoons are for beds,

Warm and cosy,

Reading a book or watching a movie, just like today.

August afternoons are for new memories,

That we are making,

Unknowingly by simply being in the moment as the trees sway.
