June Morning – v3

Dawn on the lake
My world is still.
Water like a mirror.
Land and water blur.
Bold bright colors in the
Morning light.

Steam rises from the still surface
In wisps and swirls, like gossamer,
Soon to evaporate
In the warming air.

Birds and I stir
Ready to face a new day.
Above me a chorus
Joins my world.

A flock of Canadian geese
A squadron of at least
Twenty-five land off the point.
A splash, a great commotion,
Squawking and trumpeting
Their arrival near shore.

Tea on the porch
Soaking it all in,
The wonder of God’s creation;
Oops, time for work.
