From atop the great stone pine trees
dragonflies fantasize of summertime;
of warmer mornings and balmy winds,
while dodging flycatchers and bullfrogs.
The grass now brown beside the pond
wolves howl to worship a harvest moon
barn owls love the nightly stellar show
young geese enjoy a fresh cool sunrise.
Beating hearts strong by creek or marsh
deep rivers and great bays ebb and flow
deer and elk love the salty-sweet grass
quilts of colorful leaves cover meadows.
The rising sun bright in the eastern sky,
from within that great awakening forest
a lone cicada sings his mating sonnet
upon the ebb and flow is the life circle.
