In the morning,
I may go to photograph
the white water lilies
as they display their purity
upon the calm water
of a peaceful pond.
In the afternoon,
I may read some poetry,
or write some poetry
sitting on the deck,
while watching hummingbirds
hovering at the feeders.
In the evening,
I may watch the clouds
diminish with the light
as the ripples on the lake
carry a liquid reflection
for my admiration.
Tonight,
I may observe
a splinter of moon,
a splatter of stars,
and fireflies pulsing along
the dark edge of the woods.
This warm night in July
is what we dreamed of
last December.
