Day: August 31, 2021

Light hit the lake this morning
The thunder storm had
Caused a ruckus but this was over
There was a feeling of peace
The August lilies were finished
Natural growing flowers and weeds
Were still in excellent shape and
When you looked you could see
A vast number of limestone pieces
Which had washed ashore 
There would be some exciting 
Opportunity for using these in
My landscaping work
I was filled with giddiness and
Also profound gladness
I recognized the handiwork of nature
I returned to the house and went
Back to my computer where I sat
In the shadows of the day and
Tried to stay focused on my task at hand
It is easy to stray from the 
Thoughts that go into my musings
So many things to think about
People and places where I had connections
But would not be engaging anytime soon
So I continued on my muse and
Started to peck our words
On the bright screen:
“Light hit the lake …”
