And so the time nears, 

looking through the rain drops hitting hard against the small window.

Everyday you look and see the same scene you know it, you own it,

breathe it, feel it....

 ... close your eyes you know every inch of what lyes on the other side

of the windows glass and screen, you know what time your favorite stars will

be in your perfect view and where the moon will be in the dark hour when it will

roll slowly through the leaves on the branches of the great maples, what colours 

it will gift you in its finest hour.

Hearing the flutter of wings so faintly going home to secure their nests as the light

shines on to open a clear path home for all earths beautiful creatures small and large

to make sure they have a rainbow view of home.

As the moon lowers and the dew becomes heavy, every so often in the beauty of

the crystal night you hear a faint call ..... just wait ..... one minute just wait, now

you will hear another, yes its safe and then the noises become more.

the sky shows its beauty of orange, red and blue.

Its all new again the smells of the damp earth the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.

The greatest beauty of all to witness the freedom of a babys first time leaving its

nest and mom right there to assist.

The little squirrels running around gathering, digging, burying working

and all this I see through the spiders web that was made in the dark hours

that sits so perfect with dew drops hanging from every strand.

You cant help but love the beauty of nature in all its ways.
