Silhouettes

Silhouettes

Against the

Black, glass smooth

Surface

Broken only

By ripples

From lures

Hitting

The calm water

Orange

Tipped trees

Line the shore

Silence

Broken only

By a cry

From a loon

Landing

On the calm water

Beauty

Unmatched

In this world

If only

I could stay

Forever

But I have to say

“Good-bye.”

Until again
