Today is warm muggy
with low hanging clouds
and a hint of storms.
The foghorn mourns
the lighthouse warns
all who venture out on the freshwater seas
where many shipwrecks lie
on lakes’ bottom some buried in sand
and bones of those swept away
by currents, sailors, surfers and hapless
swimmers ripped far out from shore.
The waters shrug and wink a steely eye.
Be safe,
Karen
