Lake

Light dances. The water-
Liquid sky, and the waves
Long for the shore. The faint
Line of the horizon
Lost in the distance. Vast
Like a sea, the great lake
Lies, and I left you there.

I agree w/all of the other talented poetesses/poets ... this is such serenely expressed poem. It brings much peace to the inner shores of this reader's soul. Pure poetry, dear. Love and more love always.
