Early Walk in Summer
Nature's calm before humans storm
Like bears wakening from hibernation
Campers arrive to stake their pine tree plots
I stroll with my dog in expectation
Craving to freeze time, frame the perfect shot
Serenaded by harmonized birdsongs
Two cranes model gracefully as they preen
Stalked by a fox nestled in grasses long
A hawk silently circles above - serene
A duck launches in flight, others glide in
Dagney seeing a deer growls a warning
Stick begs to be caught and thrown again
Chipmunks and hummingbirds greet the morning
The first days of summer are approaching
Nature's creatures sense humans encroaching
