Nightfall Descant

Slowly I paddle my birch bark canoe
through glassy chocolate-colored waters,
pond where baritone bullfrogs set
nature's metronome in motion,
buzzing June-bugs quickening the pace
clicking..., hissing..., clicking..., hissing
though marshes, meadows & trees, as
twilight's chorus, adagio, becomes
one with lofty landscapes, till
pastoral harmonies softly fade
leaving behind still water's wake.
