He sat close to the window;
writing, and watching summer mature.
As the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds
zipped and sipped at the feeders and flowers.
And the Sandhill Cranes
yodeled from nearby wetlands.
As the White Water Lilies
floated their purity upon the lake.
And White-tailed Deer raised
another generation of fawns.
As wheat, stretching straight and tall,
ripened green to gold in dense rows.
And fireflies flashed green-yellow lights
in the silky dusk of evening.
As frequent thundershowers
kept the heartland green.
And the window to his world offered
daily scenes of summer theatre.
