Stills of nature
oh joy, rain has come
relief in times of struggling –
summer heat records
summer sun blazes
water in the lake recedes
leaving fish stranded
lake shrouded in rain
passing cars splash up water
summer’s morning view
with wings scarred by life
butterfly needs the flowers
as reason to live
down feather dances
with the wind as its partner
across the water
suburban bus stop
spring sunrise through hazy shrubs
a wren sings its song
the spring morning warms
couple of beetles make love
on a green bedding
the woodpecker drums
as Sunday morning wakes up
in gentle sunlight
waddle in the woods
spring becomes abundant green
to cloak the newborns
