Dawn peeking fades stars

At lake’s mid, gentle moves hand and foot

In still water treading soft

Buoy a head just, just

Above

Strange place to greet the day

Silent private cool

Far from shore

Head back, eyes

Above

A loss, and not the first

Sad, not bitter a parting

Virtues, flaws, flow and ebb

But here, tideless, just look

Above

Stay here awhile, just stay

Make faint ripples to bird song

Kick strong legs slow

Patient heart and eyes

Above

Could stay forever but don’t

Go back now, go

A cabin calls, hearth with fire

Time to dry, and keep thoughts

Above
