From Prompt #9 – SPRING MAGIC – Hour #9

Spring in cottage country

– a time of magic –

when nature comes to life after a long deep sleep.

 

Hundreds of fireflies twinkle

backlit by the river of pulsing stars stretched overhead.

The night air fills with the chirping, jingle bell chorus of peepers seeking out a mate.

The musty odour of humus and fresh scent of new growth fills my senses.

Shadowy shapes move through the tree-line

where predator and prey engage in a nightly fight to the finish.

 

Soon the stifling heat of summer will bring new sights and sounds

to draw me even more from winter’s lethargy

to awaken my senses to nature’s wonders surrounding me.
