Waves refract the sunlight One thinks of the strobe light Sun rays filter through the woods The yellow maple leaves as dazzling as They dance in the mild breeze. The cedar Barely move as the white pine serves as a Wind break. Beauty is astounding and the sound of Nature’s music is a symphony We are a month into autumn and the peak colors Are behind us. Rain has been a factor, shortening The season. Tamaracks have not Given up and are going through Their stages of color change People speak of a harsh winter But it is easier to take things One day at a time and look for The beauty each day brings Sometimes you have to look And maybe it is a different Kind of beauty, but it is there For the taking. Most of the campers Have returned home for school Soon the deer hunting army will Be arriving. Deer will be taken But their instincts for survival Are impressive. Their lifespan For the most part goes from Bambi to yearling to the fender Of a truck or car. Others go on For years before they are finally Victims of an excited hunter We have our traditions and repeat Them every year. We know our own But worldwide there are many We have never seen and have no Idea of. Life is too busy to explore All of them so we stay content with Only our own. There are many things We have no idea of. Nature abounds With numerous mysteries and many Exciting things to discover. Meanwhile We will enjoy today. Stanski October 19, 2021 ^
