Our Summer Lake

Our Summer Lake Summer's lake is clear, and once again we open up the cabin near the hedge. Two snails slide along a flowered ledge untouched by any sense of urgency. In morning light we're moving silently to drag our family's boat to water's edge past nestled geese along a sandy wedge. Our cat has found a curiosity; he chases waggling goslings he has found while romping in the heat of early June. A hawk seeks taller trees amid the sound of oars and geese. Our summer lake so soon engulfed in muted sunlight all around-- a wondrous view beneath a fading moon.
