On the Shore

The shortness of life

 

 

On the Shore

Red and gold sassafras

Slender green tasseled grass

And the lake waves say

 “too soon, too soon.”

 

White mares’ tails streak blue skies

sea gulls slide and slip in air

trembling shadows on the sand

whisper  but I can hear “too soon, too soon

this day will end too soon.”


Journeys
