:

As I walked alone in the tundra
the sun was setting
bright and shiny and golden
on the lake....
I sat down on the ground
and felt the breeze blow past me....
I looked out on the water
where I saw two loons
together
Dipping their heads into the water
trying to catch
small fish....
As one popped up
she called out to her partner,
enough fishing,
and both flew up,
wings flapping fast,
and then
they were gone....
Looking to my side
I heard small birds
singing,
and following the wind....
Then I searched again for the loons
on the lake
and they were there again
just watching me.
