Mike Martin Poet Verse

Listen to poem:

Cavan Lake Alberta

Cavan Lake, Alberta, that’s where I’m bound to be
You can’t beat the splendor of that wild serenity
Trees are all around me, there’s a robin at my door
And Cavan Lake is just outside, a hundred steps or more

Everywhere I look I see the big Alberta sky
And there comes Laura Lee with that sparkle in her eye
More lovely than a sunrise on the lake outside my door
Or the harvest moon reflecting off the ripples on the shore

Cavan Lake is calling me, that’s where I’m bound to be
In the big skies of Alberta, neath a rustling shady tree
Where the rainbow reaches shore to shore, and the big sky stretches wide
And the coyotes serenade the moon on the shores of the other side

I can see the lake from here, the water’s calm today
Gonna walk down to the shore and chase my blues away
If skipping stones won’t do it and the birds all fly away
I’ll have to take them back again and try another day
