going with the flow

sitting, watching
listening
thought full / thoughtless
quiet contemplation

the eagle the osprey
dual / duel
startled
spruce grouse
erupt
into cacophonist flight

bass fighting
hook
line
and sinker

black fly, deer fly, mosquito
harass
disappear on the breeze
bad memories
best forgotten

hoot of the owl
cry of the loon
fish jump
coyotes howl at the moon
cries and whispers
haunt our dreams

on water’s edge

mated dragon flies
flit and careen
a procreative dance
finch
dart, chirp, scold
on a wing and a prayer

barefoot
pine needle carpet
on loamy soil
dodging the hard fact
of roots
weightless drifting with
life jacket floats

cool mist
on morning water
smudgy campfire smoke
coffee aroma
pancakes with blueberries
sausage and syrup
