Hopeful Anticipation

June 14, 2015

An indifferent lake early
Foggy
Monochrome gray
Offering no invitation
To look closer
Approach
Enter
Ride upon

Yet filled
With possibilities
Latent beauty
Much to be revealed
Later
Sparkling blueness
Drawing laughter
From children playing
Those fishing
Waiting in hopeful
Anticipation

Only silence, stillness, a pause in the dawn

June 11, 2015

Morning view at the lake. Only there for a moment, and seen by no one else.

Northern Lake: A Chorus of Color in Four Movements

June 11, 2015

I felt a need to re-visit this post from a few years ago. There is a magic about early morning at a lake in the north woods of Minnesota. Beyond words, actually, but one can try.

Tom's avatarIn a dim light...

— — —

Pink cloud band’s
Purple tone
Borne on liquid
Swells
Vanishes
 
Golden streak announcing
Sun rising
Clouds gathering
Sun dissolving
Gone
 
Then, faint
Faint gray
Faint gray waves
Emerging – a pulse
Morning
 
Now, pale
Yellowish-pink hues
Lake silver-blue
Calm
Nearly glass
