This morning as I took my exercise out in the lake
An egret coasted overhead and alighted
Paying not much attention at all to me
And little dog who walks along the shore
While I call out encouragement
To get her to walk some more
She like me tends toward the sedentary
But as long as we have these gorgeous days
We come out and do our salutations
To the sun, and lake and sky
And whatever else should catch our eyes
And our imaginations
