Reflection
The
lake is quiet today,
bereft of wind,
even of breeze,
the blue of the sky
laid out on the surface.
The heavens then
beneath our feet
we steer the canoe
as though by stars
reaching with our paddles
for the sweet, dark deep,
pulling hard against this life,
against death
until the celestial waters
open to us
and the wake
murmurs our names.
