LOON RISE
The loon
labors
above the
still lake—
struggling to rise,
heart burdened
by this flight.
The loon
lands
on the still
lake—
gliding forward,
heart calmed
by this homecoming.
The loon
calls
across the
still lake—
resonating radiance,
heart glorified
by this true rising.

Lovely! What beautiful sensory images. Especially love the last stanza. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I like the structure of the poem two lines about the loon on the lake followed by three phrases that help me to visualize the loon.
