Lakeside Chill on Winter Morn
The dank cold chill
stills the dawn
to forlorn quietude,
as the day hopes
in vain for
summer rays to
lift eyelids awake
to a warm break of day.
Shorebirds huddle
out of the shadows
to catch the glimmer
of weak light rays
that trickle onto
the sand flats.
Syrupy waves ripple
the lake's surface
trying their best
to make the best of
the frigid situation,
with the scene
blanketed by the cold.
Yet the lakeside chill knows
its reign is short-lived,
with the lake's vignette
hanging-out
for Spring's relieving
high-five touché touch
of warmth.
