Swim of the Loon

Loons - I think the thing I miss the most not being up at Doe Lake this summer is the haunting sound of a loon call as I'm falling asleep.

They are strange birds. Amazingly talented swimmers and divers, yet limited flyers as a result. They are not particularly showy, but there is a beauty that they have just in their simplicity and shear wildness.

A melody haunts
The aurora's laughter soars
Among the star gods
