Awakening in quiet laps to shore,
a morning heartbeat flutters into air-
a flying v of geese at morning’s door
relays a soft alarm. A deer aware
here pauses lightly on the river’s edge.
The morning sun calls peace throughout a mist
as fauna nearby hide beneath the hedge
where sand nearby the water gleams dew kissed.
In golden shining armor, sunlight brightens
with sprawling fingers stretching onto shade.
Reflections linger as the day enlightens
within this quiet solace God has made
while soaring after all in quiet sighs,
an eagle lifts its wings into the skies.
