Summer solstice afternoon

 Summer solstice afternoon

Not a ripple on the green glassy Beaver 

A gentle breeze carries bird songs

The geese waddle off the sandy beach

A young fisherman packs his tackle

In the gorge of water between railroad tracks

Square wheels echo off granite cliffs

After work gazers park and stroll

As I put my backpack on ready to roll

A day with my partner, mother nature

Such an intelligent grain of sand

In a swarth of dusty universe
