Once the summer wind stood still
with nary a breeze to ripple Kroeker’s pond
above
a sparrow hawk
sat as a feathered sentinel
atop the lone cottonwood
that has grown forever
beside pond’s spring fed waters
below
a man sat upon a fallen limb
in silent bond with the hawk
as if perhaps in that one moment in time
they saw as one
as time stood still
a man and bird
perched upon God’s windowsill

A keeper. Thank you, Tim. I love the imagery, the powerful sense of one moment in time when two disimilar creatures can seem as one.

Sir, they all captured the same lines I was going to copy...

I wish I had been the first to read this...
but I was working on my book.

Sigh. I know this pond...

I saw you sitting there.

It's so good to see you posting again. More, please.

I've been to this pond before and have seen God's handywork so vividly displayed for my enjoyment, thanks for taking me back
