Lake Superior

Lake Superior


Strong- shouldered waves crested
the rocks below Split Rock Lighthouse
with frothering glee-

happy to be home among the orange-lychen,
basalt-boulders  and Gulls-

high above the lake, mountainous columns
of clouds drifted in legions towards Canada,
against a sky so blue, no reasons were needed-

where the sun peaked through, sparkling
diamonds scattered across the lake……existence was enough

                                                                                existence

                                                                                          was enough

Your words allow us to visit this special beach with you, Jimbo. Beautifully written! Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. Send a piece of that chocolate pecan pie to me, eh? Would love to taste it. Also still waiting to read your book. Peace and blessings, Carolyn
