Wetlands Moments

Dusk.
Hummingbirds frolic,
Cicadas mesmerize,
Moon ascends quietly.
                    Tranquility.

Twilight.
Shadows stretch silently,
Firefly’s whisper welcome,
Calmness envelopes all.
                    Euphoria.

Evening.
Whippoorwills harken,
Nighttime’s children arise,
Mysteries eagerly stir.
                    Harmony.

Darkness.
Moon shadows pirouette,
Tree frogs serenade,
Day reluctantly shrugs.
                    Rapture.

Nature is my refuge. Living on 30 acres gives me many opportunities to witness deer, wild turkey's along with a cornucopia of wild birds. The moments I spend just sitting in my tree swing are the moments I feel soothing awe at Nature's magnificence. I never tire of the felling of bliss outside watching and listening to all that is around me.
