Lilacs

A warm silence sits on Hideaway Pond. And spring. You can smell it. Fresh mowed grass and the lilacs that Shari brought in from the front yard this morning. A cut glass vase that a friend gave us for our 25th Anniversary. Half of our married lives ago.

The wine red leaves of the crimson mix with the bright green of the overhanging swamp maple. When the afternoon sun shines through them, they seem to glow with their own light. A robin explores the yard for elusive worms and a brilliant indigo bunting flaunts its colors in the nearby woods.

A pair of wood ducks dropped down on Hideaway Pond yesterday. Season finale. They stayed for only a few minutes and took to the air. Almost as though distracted by the worrisome prospect of the long ordeal ahead. Little time for erstwhile cares. And an eagle soared high over the house, his regal aloofness on display as he drifted on. Oblivious.

The ephemeral seasons change. Mother Nature moves on. One more click on the immutable chronometer of time.
