I am out walking again,
exploring the fields and woods,
scanning the lakes,
following the streams.
Cloud shadows
race across the foothills,
pushed by the wind.
Bobolinks appear,
then disappear
in deep grass.
Bulging cumulus
pile into white mounds
in the afternoon sky.
Delicate saucers
of Queen Anne's Lace
nod in the warm sun.
Summer quickens, ripens,
and waits for you
to open your invitation.
