sheltering the pool of water on the other side,
a lone blue bird house stands unprotected from
the winter elements soon to arrive sooner or later
as the temperatures drop to accommodate the
climate changes appearing on the horizon of time;
freshly cut grasses mute the colors of the ground
highlighting the valleys and undulations of the
mother who gave them all a chance at life and
while it might be briefly experienced, it is still
a life that few in nature every really experience;
Bradford Pears stand aloof as they overshadow
the land around them and rabbits scurry around
preparing for the day they will remain inside,
knowing that only some of them will survive
while ignoring the dilemma in which they find
themselves each year the warmth leaves them.
