Notes About The Poem

inspired by beautiful photo taken by Timothy McGuire~

I Knew

I woke before sunrise
Beauty all around me
An overwhelming silence

I sat and took it in
Food for my soul

The loon called out
From the stillness of the lake
I knew I was at heaven’s gate

David Mchattie April 21, 2019 at 9:41 AM The loons would start to call at dusk on our lake. You're right. It's a beautiful moment. Have a good day. Line Gauthier April 21, 2019 at 10:37 AM Maybe our loons in Canada like to get an early start. LOL
