By the Bay

Down by the bay, 
the Canadian goose flew
Landing on the green grass
Watching everything go by
It stood without movement
As if to wonder about its flight
As the water lapped the shore,
Reflecting the skies so blue
An old place for me, 
now seemed to be new
Colorful boats are docked
Near the stage for bands
Those summer nights I visited
     - Here I am again -
Looking toward the lake
As I sit and wonder too ...
