Long
ago it turned
spinning
in the wind
pumping
precious water
now
silent~a lookout for Kestrel
alert~scanning
with bright eyes
watching
for scurrying below
in hopes of dinner

Morning
walk~different today
all
my special boys together
breathing
the cool morning air
exploring~
revisiting the favorite
haunts
remembered from last time's visit
the
dogs proudly stepping out
relishing
the addition to their pack

There
appears to be a delightful bug
floating
in Chico Creek
savoring
this moment
because
like time~ ladybugs soon fly***

They
have gone~their company a joy
yet
now tranquility settles once again
we
sit quietly~ dusk gently descends
sweetened
with soothing cricket song
when
did we start to crave our quiet so?
Has
peace become our drug of choice?

Autumn
settles quietly
first
claiming nights

Here
and there
first
colored leaves

Harvested
fields
crows
flock
gleaning

Autumn~
season of so many joys
cooler
days~crisp nights~ripe fruit
yet
in this season of bliss and golden splendor
the
forest rings with shots~first dove~ then deer
the
killing horde~ sporting camo gear stalks
seeking
to slake it's thirst for blood and trophy
denying
the wolves their right to harvest and feed
slaying
the predator that belongs in the forest
claiming
first right~upsetting nature's balance
The
hunt alone is bad enough~but each year
camp
fires~carelessly left~ savage the forests
destroying
habitat and anything in it's wake
marring
this glorious season with sorrow
tarnishing
it's beauty with blood and fire.
