quiet lullaby by the lake and cattails; with poem Quiet Lullaby A breeze flows across the lake beneath a blue sky peppered in growing clouds; the dog pauses to capture the scent flowing through the dry, rustling cattails; the blackbirds and wrens hide silently away as the sun’s warmth soothes me into a nap in nature’s quiet lullaby.
