Ripples On the Lake
As the last remnants of night gave way to dawn's arrival
glittering stars left mirrored reflections of aureate light
along where the welcoming sand meets the ocean's tide
Morning skies glowed as if glitter had fallen from clouds
and the wind had blown stardust above an amber shore
Flecks that would shine like gold when the sun rose higher
Silence reigned as mist rolled out. No gulls had taken flight
in search of breakfast waiting just beneath ripples on the lake
