Hush.
The lake bathed
In
the shadows of
fall and the yawning of
morning.
Beside
the
board
walk
murky
waters
freckled
by water
skaters murmur
while
the reeds rise,
fall, a frog rustles, thrums,
a
bird chimes, and squirrels stir
in
hurried duet to pluck an acorn
from its nest. The score grows, and the
trees, dressed in gold, enclose the dark
waters
with their brightening limbs, while the fog lifts
in
slow dance, steaming
into sun-breath. Now they descend,
a flock of white, billowing sails,
strong and wide, upon the dark,
the waters
held by light. The light a silver, golden glimmer. Gliding on, on, on.
