Amongst the Trees

the deep water 
of the lake
   surrounds
our small boat
we float as it 
were
   watching the 
changes in the 
    foliage which
  stands nearby
   Spring - new life
   Summer - full bloom
   Fall - the change of colors
   Winter - white death
the deep waters
 of the lake 
keep us afloat
as the years 
pass - we continue 
  to view 
  the trees 
       our boat 
a landmark 
  on the changing 
face of the 
      natural landscape
