These Great Outdoors

Nature is a slice of affection
where winds soothe
stream’s cascading surge.

Mallards and Pintails shower from
above in evening shades,
as silhouettes of movement

rain-pouncing warmth sprinkles
on shoreline’s clothing of
kelp, abandoned buoys and
other flotsam

loons absorbed in eerie calling
throughout the mist.

Dusk is a weaver of Poplar and Birch
sun shrinking, mosquitoes
upon my brow

ripples on the lake
our canoe searching. Nature is a
smorgasbord of memory.

The 'great outdoors' is so soothing to the spirit. I believe it is God's gift to us. Such a peaceful place, where we can gather our thoughts and relax. There is nothing better than taking your loved one for a canoe ride, in the evening, as the sun winks goodbye at last light. RLP
