Mottled ptarmigan  Wears earth-toned summer attire  Nature’s camouflage

Children’s gleeful squeals  Delight carousel horses  Released from storage

Sparkling water sounds  Trimmed with floral abundance  Soothes a busy mind

Small forest cabin  Away from society  Time to find yourself

Clandestine bindweed  Imitates morning glory  Spreading tangled maze

Under lightning flash  Thunder-excited downpour  Shapes water cascades

Wandering within  Time-worn sandstone erosion  Seductive pathways

Straight from Dr SeussSpirited agave stalksEntertain sky clouds

Soft mourning dove coosEcho through vanilla sky’sMeditative space

Deep in the forestTiny delicate bells hangBarely Visible
