The light is blinding as
It reflects off the inland sea
It makes you turn your head
It causes no sound; just is
Tree limbs are swaying in
The mild late September breeze
There is a natural rhythm
Nature has a way with music
Two Blue jays are chasing each other
Their flight is from tree to tree
They may be looking for food
You can hear all of their squalor
They are around for a half hour
They are beautiful birds and
Elevate your appreciation of life
Pileated Wood Peckers are also
A wonder. They are a flighty bird
Going from tree to tree looking
For one which has creatures in it
These little creatures are their dinner
The Hummingbirds which are a delight
To watch have closed up shop for
This year. They are off to wherever
They go, but will be back by the
Next Mother’s Day.
Now it is raining for the third
Time this morning. There is never
A dull moment. Waves are slowly
Moving to the west. They move as
Smoothly as did Fred Astaire on
The dance floor. There are also
Creatures to be aware of: Bear,
Wolves, Bobcats, Raccoons and
Porcupines. You don’t see them often
But when you do you stay away.
