HAVEN

The loons haunt the sunset
Whispered warning in the darkness
Alert the fawn as it slowly sips

A last golden arrow
Pierces the edges of nightfall
Tiptoes across the silent lake

Each ripple an unseen presence
Both prey and predator
Searching for each other

The moon square dances
With its prancing shadows
Changing partners on the wind

The stars hold their applause
