It has been 10 months
hiking and walking 4 to 6
days a week to regain my strength
a difficult journey to recovery.
Goals were needed to succeed.

Shades of gold and brown across the shoulders
And a head of gold
It perched atop a tall boulder
surveying the field below
Suddenly, seeing something I could not
a leap into the wind
wings outstretched,
catching the air. It soared
Leaning wings left or right
weaving among the boulders
and over the field, wings still
outstretched catching morning thermals
Rising air of the morning
giving lift to its flight till suddenly
wings collapse, it dives into tall grass.
Prey invisible, but breakfast found.

Two fawns and a doe
on the other side of a fence
looked across the park,
seeking to escape the barking dog
and retreat to high grass

I don't claim that this simple poem is one of my best or even that it is mediocre. But, it is a poem of significance because I met the flower on a hike with Maya, getting me out and into nature. It stood high and proud and all by itself and spoke to me. So, I share with you, our readers
