Sitting on the fence

Keen eyes, taking it all in

Sun makes rainbows on feathers.

Mosies slowly on

Headed for the murky lake

Don’t get too close. Snap!

Its back arches high

Kitten stalks feet wearing socks

Fierce little beastie.

Pacing to and fro

Telling of your frustration

Longing for freedom.

Waves crash on the shore

Mighty, majestic, soothing

Muse to many men.

From inside the earth

Rises, clear and refreshing

Gives birth to rivers.

Flowing ‘cross the land

Sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce

Life abounds in you.
