Lakes can blow your
mind , they can take your breath ,
help to pass away the time on a
higher plane , even curtail a few aches and pains
They whisper your name ,
they've no regard for routine matters nor boorish games
They entertain the child within ,
sailboats at mercy of ocean wind ,
Jolly Roger flags , blue whales ,
shark fins and full sails
Boats filled with the evening catch ,
rowing to shore in a stormy patch ,
telescopes and 'Crow's Nest' , red buoys
and sailing men
A day at the lake
A line in the water
Your **** in a chaise
Your thoughts left free to wander* ...
