Sweet Waters
.
Let Your sweet waters wash over me
Cleansingly, refreshingly,
Rinsing life’s dust and grime away,
Soothing me through yet another day.
Father bathe me in Your light
Holding back the darkest night,
Help me shine for those I love
A sign, a signal from up above.

Hadedas
Celebrating the Dawn
Before the first rays of the sun,
Sensing the coming of the dawn,
The hadedas arrive en masse
Shouting ha, ha, haa for all to hear,
Just like children going out to play
At the start of a holiday!

Fight or flight
Cornered with no escape
Make or break
Either way he’s done
With a YOWL and a grOWL
They leap into the attack
Never turning their back
All TEETH and CLAWS
Without a pause
Fur flies like large snowflakes
White, bright, like a pillow fight
Twirling, whirling feline dervishes
Rolling over and over
I had to intervene
Between protagonist and antagonist
The former strutted off
Tail in the air
While the latter slunk home
To lick his wounds
No real damage done

Sunrise
Dawning
.
Birthing, beginning, appearing, occurring,
Rays of light shining bright,
Sparks of perception,
Conception, in the night,
Comprehension, apprehension,
Understanding, awakening, insight
Emotions grow wider, softer
As we age, time spent intent
On introverted expansion,
And other dimensions,
Getting to the kernel of recognition
Of what makes us tick and others tock.

The tide is out, rocks exposed, unclothed;
White whispering waves catch the first rays of the sun
As they run back and forth on silken sands.
Pools, left behind between rock spaces,
Shine like mirrors’ smooth faces,
Tranquil, serene…
Softly murmuring swells draw errant curls
Like a magnet into the main mass
And the sun slowly climbs, birthing a new day
While the tide gently turns to wash our steps away
As if we’d never been…

The dawning promise of morning
Where golden arrows streak the sky
And blushing clouds drift on high
Doused in purest gold
Too soon the sun appears
Reaching over the horizon
And the surrounding colours brighten
In a burst of blazing flames
Glorious scenes beyond our dreams
Pleasure and delight our senses
Oh that we could freeze the moment
With each and every small component

I lie in the darkness
Listening to the Hadedas’
Ha-aa, ha-aa, ha-aa, ha-a-a-a-a-a-a
In the distance.
The chorus swells
As more and more birds
Join in the yells
And the sky lightens
As the world brightens
With the dawn of day.

Eagles Hatching on Live Video Stream
High above the ground
Feathers ruffled, nest shaking
In the wind
The eagle sat hatching her eggs
Chirps and tweets could be heard
Emanating from beneath her
The wind increased
The rain spattered her feathers
As dawn slowly lightened the sky
She sat hunched over
Her wing feathers puffed out
To afford more protection
From the weather
Suddenly a flash of black and white
Swirled around from left to right
And the male eagle landed
He bent over his mate
And fed her a titbit from his beak
Then, as she shuffled over to the side
He replaced her on the nest
Great excitement on my part
As they moved I had the tiniest glimpse
Of two snow white chicks and an unhatched egg
