Michael Thiele is a woodsmith who makes musical instruments and playable furniture. He spends most of his life either in the shop or out on the road buying wood and selling his work at craft shows. In recent years, his travels have begun to inspire his own writing, so he sends me his thoughts.
May 25
At the studio
On the mountain
Cool air is
Well, cool
It likes me
The feeling is mutual
Night breeze, downhill
Morning breeze, uphill
But always, the breeze
Open your windows
Shed no tear
For the heat
The summer day is hers
Even on my mountain
But on this mountain
Day and night, hot and cool
Engage in a time share
Summer is gracious this way
Woke up with a smile on my skin
Took it for a walk
No traffic here
It hangs out in town
Greeted the prairie dogs
Standing at attention
Denizens of the tunnel
Cool earth works too
Thank something for this
Your God, your luck……whatever
There are worse ways
To start the day
Cool air is
Well, cool
It likes me
The feeling is mutual
