Two white birds with long curved beaks
riding the thermals, high up, holding steady,
then swooping low, like violins to bass,
traveling the eastward wind above the lake.

The shaded forest floor is dark and cool,
the air humid. Deer slept here last night,
their furry smell still vibrating in the trees,
the pebbled dirt, the singular daisy.

Sunrise in the meadow. Wild flowers.
Hummingbird flashes. Sunlight beams
slanting through tall grass. Insects hum.
Eagle’s wings soar the day’s song.
