We sit on a large rock
Overlooking the river and
The trail
It’s the first warm day
Many cyclists, runners, walkers
And mothers with their children
Fresh from school

We sit on a large rock
For the better part of an hour
Unusual for her
Generally pushing to walk

We sit on a large rock
Being still
Resting
Much as you rested
Multiple times on this walk

We sit on a large rock
Enjoying the weather
Enjoying the views
Enjoying our companionship

We sit on a large rock
We listen to the
Cardinal sing
His song as
Ephemeral
As our days
