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
