Late Summer Lake

By Ann Chiappetta

 

Pre-dawn crickets quiet

Hidden in the golden grass, Rich aromas 

Tingle the senses; damp earth

Water and pine envelop me

 

Waterfowl squabble for cresses and tidbits

Amid the cattails;

Subtle   slap of rigging on sail masts

Like the chime of prayer bells  

Foretell the seasonal shift 

for the denizens of the lake.

Cool breezes at dawn and dusk

Relieve the hot Midday breath until

Shadows stretch languidly

Into evening

 

Soon the stunted grass and winter sloth will come

The radiance is stored for the spring.
