Sacred Gratitude 
Rockin and Rollin inside my soul
Beckoning musical notes float within me
My heart surrenders and opens
Expanding

Simple nuances of pure magic

Breathing into...

Entering a pine colonnade sprouting a wintry mane, saddled with

Crisp day snow crunching as I walk
Rosy cheeks, from the air that bites

Moon had reached its zenith peak
the world lay hushed for the night
some heralding flew near the pond
wind stilled as she came into sight

Ripples stirred as she entered the water
pond came to life, ere it had...

Where the Saskatchewan  prairie lies

Skies painted with every hue

Pinks, purples and shades of blue

The land settles down to rest

Our prairie full of havest gold

A snowy owl sat on her nest
   while tending to her brood;
her mate flew out upon a quest 
   to gather up their food.
An old grey wolf then soon appeared

spring bees...  spiders  many flies
early nesters starve

grass... verdant... growing...
hedgerows holding back... afraid...

Awakened by a budding desire
 Trees burst forth in bloom
 As their colors set the landscape afire
which attracts the insects that groom
the blossoms, as they exude a sweet perfume

Butterflies frolic amidst the branches
Seeking shade in...

Soaring silent I clear steep mountain's...

My lifetime mate included
Together on land we build our home

Fish, rabbits, rodents and birds are nice
Lemmings are a...
