life observed in the alcove
Wild lilies like
fireflies spotted
the shadowed lake bend
a proud and lichen
crusted boulder watched
moss and minnows grow
Strong magnolia
grew up far beyond
the understory
our bright boats felt strange
among the grove so
we rowed in silence
One thought on "life observed in the alcove"

I love the reverence you carry throughout the poem and the last stanza where the bright boat is at odds with nature. Beautiful!
