Shimmering reflections across a placid lake
A loon’s call fills the mountain air
An eagle soars free high overhead
I rock quietly in my worn rocking chair
A deer walks proudly beside their young
A bee collects its last pollen of the day
A distant rumble echoes thru the mountains
A slight breeze against my skin lay
A pair of squirrels play on branches aloft
The smell of blossomed shrubs comes to me
A trout jumps lazily for a passing fly
A moose walks along so his trail wild and free
A soft kiss from my lover I now feel
Warm arms wrap around me as I sit
A single star twinkles high overhead
The nights first light there has been kit
Darkness falls all around, nature slowly quiets
A lone owl hoots from a distant tree
The warm breeze replaced by one with a chill
I shiver as it cascades silently over me
I rise from my chair as the day is now done
Slowly the nights shadows against the ground fall
I walk slowly into the warmth of my home
All these visions of a spring night I recall
Sleep comes to me as down my head I lay
Soon dreams will replace the visions in my mind
Knowing I will awake to another day from sleep
And another mountain spring day I will find
