Any time of day

The trees are still, there are no birds at the feeders.

Brush strokes of white clouds are splashed across the blue/grey sky.

The sandy hill is silent; and a single loon seems to slide westward with the lake towards a moon that will rise soon and lighten up the dark sky.

Here, in the house, the trees and the lake and the stars will bring a miracle of light to remind me that I sit in a peaceful place.

This place is where my window allows me to see a beautiful and wonderful world any time of day.
