storm subsides leaving
traces of electrical activity
and distant rolling booms.tall legged black and white
egret strides watery shallows
trekking homeward bound.water laps against shore
beaver drags felled timber
back to submerged lair.loon calling mate
under star gazed night
moon overhead serenading.mottled osprey nestles young
staring down at sheer heights
atop abandoned wooded pylon.dawn arrives percolating
perchance rainbow appears
sun rears head with splendor.
