Oh Lake O

Oh Lake O

Water surrounds
Birds chirp
River flows out to the lake
Steady 
High
Trunks of trees under water 
Top of trees like cauliflower 
Ebb
Flow
Sailboats don’t notice
But the old lighthouse almost kisses the blue water
Clouds look down on the blue
Wide like the ocean
Harbouring life
North American border born of past glaciers 
Flocks of birds glide by
Swans dive, devouring the rich bounty
The air is peaceful 
The feeling is divine 
I call it home...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
