Seeing Anew

I see just one bird but a dozen hidden birds sing all around me --jmb

the great blue heron stands motionless at water's edge fish stay deep and safe --jmb

  so effortlessly do the green leaves float and bob around submerged logs --jmb

two bumblebees hum, and drift among phlox blossoms gathering nectar --jmb

quiet morning walk startled rabbit startles me both wide-eyed, trembling -jmb

maple seeds twirl down softly landing on fresh earth spring’s new life begins - -jmb

ominous shadow sweeps along the ground unseen hawk hunts above ---jmb  

  under the tree bark larvae write curled messages in their ancient script -- jmb

Cloudy day with rain A solitary wren cheeps twice, then is silent -jmb

chickadees chatter spring breezes tickle tree buds nature is laughing -jmb

ice coats spruce branches magnifying tiny buds life hidden within -jmb

golden woodland stream gurgling  over submerged rocks happy stone music --jmb  

  cold spring melt water reflections, sparkles, shadows move unimpeded --jmb

tree with many holes fine dining for woodpeckers but fatal for bugs -jmb  

spring winds whipping pines, agitated branches flail  up, down, round and round --jmb

scudding clouds in spring the sun playing hide and seek while the wind roars --jmb

  the sun emerges shadows appear, green moss glows sun hides, all things fade --jmb

  bright sun peeps, in, out our shadows come and go we are, we are not -jmb

grape vine strangled oak leaning over the ravine deep roots cling to life -jmb  

up and out early soft pine needles under foot crows laughing, springtime --jmb
