| At The Lake |

Down at the lake today
At sunrise
As I watch the light
Reflected on the waves
I hear music
Not a little fugue or cantata
Neither a short prelude
Nor minuet
But a grand polonaise by Chopin
The one in A flat major
Playing in my head
The silver motion
Of water and wind
Choreographed and synchronized
So finely that the notes
That resonate golden and clear
Are the power
Giving rise to each wave
And the force that drives
The giant black hulls
Of the ore freighters
Slowly down the horizon
Where movement is melody
In the swaying elms and willows
Along the shore
And harmony rises
On the wings of geese
And flies graceful like the gulls
Across a summer sky
Above waters graduating
From green to blue to gray
Accompanied by the soft piano
Of a new day____ |
