Afternoon Getaway
The sunlight streams to the earth below
Beckoning the flowers, "continue to grow"
The pillows of clouds floating by
Are highlighted in the airbrushed sky
A red tailed hawk and his prey on the move
Tracks made by a fawns little hooves
The sound of the water crashing the shore
Boats, kayaks, water skis and more
The sound of the dog running in the thicket
Crows, rabbits, squirrels, and crickets
A jogger and biker on the same path
Meeting and smiling as they pass
A picnic lunch for my friend and me
Beneath the shade of a large oak tree
