As I walk along the wooded pathway 

I hear the soothing sounds of loons welcoming the day 

I look towards the water as still as it can be 

The sky so blue as far as the eye can see 

Sunrays peeking through the trees 

Squirrels busy gathering acorns happily 

I sit amongst the beauty Mother Nature provides 

Putting life’s demands and worries aside 

Embracing the moments with a peaceful break 

At my little cottage on the lake 

Three years ago, on a summer day in June while sitting near the ocean, Connie was inspired to transition her thoughts and feelings into words on paper. This led to many hours of writing and capturing moments in time that she found pleasure in. Over the past three years her poetry has been published in The Cryer, a free monthly community newspaper on the Midcoast.
