I sit by the lake,wondering
if I could become immersed
in the Moons rays if I swam in the
path  it made glinting across the water

I am always mesmerized
by this scene of moon over
water,and imagine all kinds of scenarios

My ipod is playing Leona Lewis
"Bleeding Love"which for some
reason seemed to make the
moonlit water look red to me

The power of imagination
is amazing, i even felt
wrapped in a romantic presence
,yet I am alone not really thinking
of anyone

A cool breeze has me
cuddling in my sweater,
glad I had taken it with me,
I wasn't ready to leave yet

Just a couple hours ago,hot
sun was glinting off the  emerald
green water,and  birds of all kinds
 chittering and flittering,in the
hundreds of pines and other trees
that circle magical  Lake Tahoe

Bushes and wildflowers were alive
 with butterflies and humming birds

Now an occasional fish breaking
water,or the hum of evening boaters
are the only sounds

Time to retire to my cabin,and say
good night on my last day here,as
I head home in the morning

Though I hate to leave, I am
renewed,  and feel that I can face
whatever lies ahead
