Fire
Water
cool
morning stillness
a fire to keep warm
birds conversing
still
glowing embers
I see another rising
hot
cup warming fingers
cold words in the air
a woodpecker knocks
slowly
creeping sun
the shadows move
the
winding path
branches swaying
earth crunching under foot
walking
alone
a deer runs past
warmth
begins to grow
a beginning brightness
my breath is in front of me
frogs
jumping
dragonflies dancing
morning
stillness
the cool lake water
smooth like glass
tiny
circles extend
still silence
the
jumping fish
smooth lake disturbed
I hear flies awaken
bees
drinking nectar
wings beat faster
