Dawn on my
lake
The world is
still.
Water like a
mirror.
Land and water
blur.
Bold bright
colors in morning light.
Steam rises
from the still surface
In wisps and
swirls, gossamer
Soon to
evaporate in the warming air.
Birds and I
stir
Ready to face
a new day.
Above a chorus
Joins my
world.
A flock of
Canadian geese
A squadron of
at least
Twenty-five
land off the point.
A great
splash,
Squawking and
trumpeting
Their arrival.
Tea on the
porch
Soaking it in,
wonder of
God’s creation.
Oops, time for
work.
