Circling the lake margin
Cattails, white water lilies, spatterdock
Garter snake swimming by
Yellowthroats, tanager, vireos singing
Light breeze, cloud reflections lead us
To meditative quiet and absorbing beauty.
There are surely other tasks trying to
Call us away.
But we were "here", for a while.
Now and then, when I am open,
I am brought to the right place.
