The walkers walked
in the crisp of morning
birds barely awake
hush of night lingering
exhilarated
awakening

On bright windy days
cats hiding out
ruffled fur hunkering
stirred
exciting

In the warm caress of evening
dogs on their leashes
busy days settling
consoled
relaxing

Under moon and stars
owls silent in flight
the world is sleeping
hushed
dreaming
