Nature's Shift
Natures's Shift
The birds now sit with feathers plumped
on branches with their flowers slumped
as trees sway idly with winds chill
and cling to leaves with sap thinned will.
Lone hawk rides current, heat vs cold
painted in cool sunset gold
shadow riding field and brush
silenced prey in shivering hush.
Cacophony of goose parade
long circling in twilight shade
seeking lodging for the night
rest for weary instinct's flight.
Burrowers in frenzy clean
owl and falcon double preen
all in tune with nature's shift
knowing soon the snow will drift.
John G. Lawless
