cold, clear water lightly lapped at them
on the lakeshore
in the early morning light

crisp air breezed through rattling leaves
on the trees,
perhaps a message from heaven...

something that would make me feel
a lot
but I thought it not
something I wanted to know

stones in smooth and oval timelessness
captivated me,
as if to notice them at all
would bring a sense of life
through some mystical connection

they were sacred then...

I feel sad
sometimes...
a kind of lonely
that makes me want to be alone

Thank you.  I found some of my notes from two years ago when it seemed that doom was knocking on my door.  It was an interesting exercise to go back in time and write from those thoughts and emotions.  Yes, the endless polishing of life.
