Midsummer Morning

Preview Image: 
With gratitude for hermit thrush songs
twirling through green branches. For beet
seedlings poking through dark tilled earth.
For Lupin entering after-breakfast dreams
on her bunched-up blanket. For my
hand touching pen to fresh journal pages.
For turtles leaving cold lakes to crawl
back-road gravel, burying their eggs
with absolute trust in sunlight.
