Sunday morning sunrise…

Sunrise at Pineridge Natural Area this morning

The new day’s light 
veiled behind gray clouds.
A crisp morning air caressing my soul 
as I listen to nature’s silence.

A meadowlark perches on a rabbit brush,
near the water’s edge, near its nest.
Six pelicans take to the air
circling the reservoir then fly north.
A cottontail ventures from safety
to nibble on blades of grass.

Nature is comfortable with silence,
much more than man.
How easily I forget
to listen to nature’s silence.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
