Simplicity 3 of 3: Images Leave a Comment / Contempory, Experience the Moment / By brugosjart I m a g e s Stately pines casting dappled shadow On finely grained sand. Shadows stretching toward the lake Wind around the trees As morning hours grow and pass. Humble hospitality is offered to A small flock of assembled geese. Discreetly the creatures withdraw Their ballet forms. To the water’s edge— People trickle in with Inflated objects and egos. A dark storm emerges. Wind blows wildly like The fire of love’s passion. Sea gulls form a military salute Face into the wind. Backwards running movie Pulls people and their egos From the lake’s edge. Road rewinds their silhouettes. Entrance becomes exodus. Watch the lake become a land locked Ocean filled with waves. Eye of the storm Brings momentary peace. It blows once more. At last calm is restored. From the dappled stretching shadows They lead each other A solitary man and woman. by Janet Brugos Lake Tahoe, CA 1991 Share this:EmailMorePrintFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
