Slice of Life

It’s summer on the hill
With Day Lilies surrounding the house
Hummingbirds buzzing and chirping
Other birdsongs warbling in the trees
The black bear wandered slowly by
Then, rushed into the woods from noise
Shades of green everywhere to see
A slice of life, a peaceful place to be
As if the rest of the world does not exist
Colors, plants and the wildlife rule
If only everything could be like this
