Call Me, Call Me Home


your voice whispers spring
and catches my breath mid air
floating still upon the skin
of the lakes warm reflection
waiting for that perfect touch
ripples shivering exploding
a tiny ring of full circle
a distant voice now sings
a loon’s lovesome lullaby
call me, call me home
winter has been quiet and lonely
snow drips to dew symphony
caress me green budding new
black and white red eyed
swimming laughter
a song sung for you

"I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad."
— Joni Mitchell

Beautiful! I love to listen to loon calls.

So beautiful and simultaneously tranquil and poignant - and the loon was the cherry on the top for me.  Magnus introduced loons to me.

this write sets the reader adrift in serenity...love this:

"snow drips to dew symphony" ...you can almost hear the magic of nature's symphony in this
