essence
I am this
light- filled dawn mist
chill breeze
winging
carrying rain
chittering of
nuthatch fledglings
looking for breakfast
maple leaves
distant thrumming
with high strains
crickets katydids cicadas
frog glunk-glunking
spring fed pond
great blue heron
standing twisted stick
secret edge waiting
tiny sunnies darting
arrowhead awareness iris
bats diving
mosquitos
riffled surface
fading light
questions whispering
newly hatched robins
black snake
gliding
in to feast
thunderhead
emptiness of draught
fearsome heights
silent winging
great horned owl
deep rooted presence
eastern white pine
shiitake mycelium
digesting oak logs
first snowfall
emptiness blanketing
purple storm
stillness
