Monday Poem: The Lake

clip_image002

The Lake

I have seen it all
And the electric blue sparking
Of dragonflies over still water
As deep and as still
As an unanswerable question.

I saw you too,
Brown and naked confidence
Ready to dive into that question.
Pausing, prepared
On the very edge
Of one of those affirmative acts
I can only sit on the bank and admire.
