Wednesday poem - Rippled reflection

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 lake trembles

as a frightened animal

to the approaching storm

a youth on the prow

ghostly reflected by

ash-colored waters

disturbed within a rippled

shadow of an eye blink
