Preparing to leave

            I’ll miss waking up to the quiet trills of birdsong, to the dazzling wall of green outside our bedroom picture window, like we’ve been camping in the treetops.
            I’ll miss the hemlock and spruce tips covered in tender new growth, a forest of Christmas trees aglow in bright-green fairy lights.
            I’ll miss the clear water – its textures, twinkles, and songs, immersing in it, gliding over it by paddle, flying over it by motorboat.
            Still, I’m ready to return to Maine’s summer offerings. Ready for home.
