The ferries sit at the lake!



They wait on me!
By the tree, wings fluttering!
Sprinkling, throwing dust at the leaves!
Knowing the woods, loving the good!
Whispers of life!
Ancient and quiet!
Beauriful like doves, roses and hugs!
Bringing new into the mix!
Letting the old live and sit!
Respected by the wise!
Tiny angels live in the skies!
Their champions, their prize!
