putting first things first
being thankful for the Gift
all others follow

putting first things first
being thankful for the Gift
all others follow
dark skies before storm
every wing beats faster
shelter not yet reached
waiting on kettle
the only light in kitchen
full moon through skylight

amidst all the trails
where cyclists and runners roam
deer frolic and play
the sound
of placid water
breaking

a blue heron
takes flight
