Long after the sun
Has climbed over the ridge,
And the morning chores are done,
The horses are grazing quietly
And the dogs are asleep
In a shady spot.
A hawk is making lazy circles
In an empty sky
As a gentle breeze nudges
The old weathervane,
And the farm relaxes
To enjoy the calm
Of a warm summer day.

I agree with Michael and Lori. Such a calm poem - as if all is well with the world.
