Cypress Lakes of Lakeland

I awakened to giant egrets dancing while brilliant hawks bluster over head while thousands of white herons nest by night flying out every morning arriving within the Caribbean by noon only to return just in time for dinner cardinals perch low singing lovely hymns to the baby eagles just out of reach the blue jays gather among the wood peckers as the humming birds flutter feasting on sweet nectar the tall cypress trees sway embracing the glorious sky igniting one hundred butterflies while the sun peeks in between the wandering clouds above the lakes Written by Yolanda Nicholsen 4-5-2023 3:24 am
