Swallows in Nisqually Flats

Nisqually Flats Reptiles

 

Chatting with the Sun

Just before the clouds consumed him,

The sun winked down at me.

“I’ll be right back”, I heard him say,

“Just you wait there and see.”

So I sat down, beneath the shade,

To watch the clouds roll by,

For, though the rain may wash its face,

The sun still rules the sky!

I Hate That Feeling....

Something lingers in my mind,

A problem I forgot.

I feel it loom ominously

And I just don't know what,

But time will show it to me,

Though I like it or not,

I feel its breath down my neck...

It’s getting way too hot.

In Dark Times

All the burdens that you bear

Are weighing on my heart.

I know that I can’t make things right

And that tears me apart.

I watch you stand beneath the weight

Of all that you now face;

You never show how much you hurt

Beneath that quiet grace.

Just know that, in these darker days,

When worries never end,

You’re not alone, I’m right near by;

I’ll always be your friend.

The Swallows Have Returned

Morning Blossom

Shy as the morning

In the early spring

Washed in the magic

That new warmth will bring

Proving the promise

That life is reborn

In the chill sunlight

A blossom of morn
