Wednesday poem - Pause

This poem is part of a series titled 'Huron Days' I wrote in 1995 during a week's stay at  Pinery Provincial Park, located on the eastern shores of Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada.

the wind pauses

the lake calms to a lull

inner voices once muted

now echo loudly the

deceptions of fake aromas

exposed and left stranded

upon this shore

 

I no longer crave

remorseful landscapes

of carpeted lies and

pulsate as the wondering

contours of these dunes

in the quavering of leaves

that though fallen and

withered can offer still

intimate fires of rebirth
