Life Giving Lake

Life-giving blue lake filled almost to rim
Brings beauty and delight to ones full of dreams

Gives plentiful to migrated Canadian geese 
Offers cozy homes to duck families 

Meditating Cranes stand by banks
Male Gobblers dance charmingly ruffling their fans

Red-tailed Hawks, Kestrels and Eagles circle over high 
Searching for tasty meal using exceptional eye

Clever Blue Jays show presence by daring loud quacks
Chirping Robins feed on insects in small cracks

Scurrying squirrels enjoy hidden nut feasts
Draw packs of howling coyotes

Grassy greens become playground for scampering rabbits
Nourish Black-tail Deer with scrumptious treats 

Ornate blooming fields of wild lupines, larkspur and poppies
Heighten magnificence of surroundings 

Bursting woodlands of Digger pines and varieties of Oaks 
Provide blackbirds, quails, towhees and wrens continual homes

Filled with moderate hills and dirt trails
I’m in awe of the splendor of the landscape

Glorious sunsets heighten beauty of the lake
Displaying shades of yellow, orange and fiery red 

Astonished by generous affluence from dear Mother Earth 
I bow to her feeling gratified and loved
