Sense It

2EACA53C-CCD8-49E9-A7A3-477DBE6AE2F2

The lake once calm and smooth like glass,

Feels the wind upon its surface,

It hears the rumbling of the clouds,

F8FAEB8F-FEBE-4424-B073-5F70EDA247A3

And its waves turn into white caps…

It tastes the raindrops from above,

And smells a fresh clean scent…

F0C87905-9219-420A-8D3A-EE8186C9457E

Then it sees the sun peak through the clouds,

And knows that it can rest.

I wrote this poem about the lake when I was 13-years-old.  Sometimes the lake seems sense it before the weather changes.

Cheers! 🙂

  3. Hi Jill. I love your poem about the lake. I still love poetry’s as I did as a child. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if this angry world focused more on poetry and Art? I miss you and the lake. We were at Hills the week after Labor Day and the weather was fabulous! I have to get my fix of the lake❤️
