Summer, still...
Thanks, Gavin, for this:
Mirror calm lake. Dusk.
Silence. Peace. Serenity.
Bobber twitch then dive.
Just the fish and me
My soul stores these moments up
Like squirrels hide fall nuts
For winter will come
Harsh, cold, grey, and oh so long
What will keep me warm?
Memories of this
Will warm me through the cold months
Better than the fire.
