The Lake

Sterling white Timid browns The lakes are like putty And I don't write poems like this anymore Trusting in nothing The nothing of the lake Rippling waves Wakening grooves The lake does not move Unless the sun calls it The moon pulls it Or the clouds fill it Or man needs it The lake is the river Is the land, is the living Sterling white It catches mens' eyes.
