Love
comes in soft waves—or bold,
and
leans in toward our shores—
keeping
and staying, freeing and swaying,
ebbing—
Chasing
us, when we need to be chased,
holding
us, starlit, and
echoing
long
after
night
falls.

Lake
Chelan is a lake in central Washington and is one of my favorite places to
be. My family has done a lot of living,
laughing and loving while visiting there.
Very nice poem in praise of love and a lovely lake.
ReplyDeleteLove the motion and the sound of the lake. It's like you know it's Song.
ReplyDeleteI like the comparison of love to the ebb and flow of your lake
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. Lakes, seas, etc all seem to call to the blue in us.
