Shimmering Sun

Afternoon sun shimmering on the water, 

Gentle flowing current Across the glowing moss, 

New family of fish beneath the crest, 

Bed of rock against the bank, Fishing line cast out, 

As fireflies, skim the water, Lighting bugs in flight, 

Tall timbers shadows stretch across, 

Cattails willow position leading, 

Bees a float on honey suckle, 

Yellow fuzzy flowers, 

Soil beneath one man’s feet, 

With hope, anticipation full of wonder, 

Touch of bliss, Will the fish eat his bait, 

Nature splendor does remain.
