Life Aligned

Fox naps

Dreams

How she has kept her tail

Quiet, not hunted

But she will hunt after sunset

Belly empty

Beaver works

Prepares

Neither is she hunted

Keeps her pelt

Focused, busy, belly full

Pond and forest, fox and beaver,

Life aligned

Husband returns

Door harp chimes

Suburban forest, backyard pond

Food, plenty, comfort, love

Life aligned

Spring Breakfast

Among spent dandelions –

A little finch

Her morning repast.

Spring season, and a spring in her tiny step.

Then sated –

Time to move on.

Ahead of me in her day –

I’ve yet to arise and move on with my day.

I daydream

I wonder where she flies..
