Allegan in Evening

The gentle blur of a sunset,
rests on Allegan's wooded horizon
and I sit with cool summer air,
trembling with the mingled tones
of dew coated frog throats trilling
and hidden insect wings flitting.

This is Nature's loving call across
this amphitheater of fields to me
and I offer a sip from my mug
as a response to her invitation.

As this coffee's strength and sweetness
adorn my mouth's with new decor
my eyes close in order to savor.
For the blaring cicada's siren
signals me that summer is
coming to a close,
so drink it in
deeply.
