Badger Lake

Wildflower whispers sway with the lakeside sword-grass
Calming a place to your knees
Listening

The quick short pitter-patter of a squirrel running on a dead log
carrying a pine cone larger than itself in it's mouth

It crosses your path
When it turns and looks
You see home

All along your way

Subtle voices
Soft hands
Smooth movements

Natural harmony
A breeze...only here
Walking gloriously down a translucent trail

Pure joy
Ducking gigantic down Doug Furs
Searching for game

Original Earth
Resting on a waterfront tree
Reading an influential book

Working together

The Blue Jay sounds the alarm
Doppler squawking elevated over your left shoulder and closer to the right
Passage granted

Light foot sinking in the marsh
A Bald Eagle diving the damn for fish
Summer Sun

I am an animal
God's animal
Planned spirits

Growing each day
Finding your way through the deep loving forest
The wildflowers whisper,"hushhhhh."

Author's Note

This tune is very dear to me. It is meant to be heard after reading. Then read again. Embrace...change. Realize what you want and move towards it.



Thank You!

This is a great translation of a perfect unity with nature. Every wordplay, and rambling, is uniquely interwoven. I heard the wildflower hussshing as never before, the metaphors you use, come from a sharp mind, and a keen eye. Well done! goosebumps, of nature within nature~
