Post subject:  The Lake

The lake looks still, from my point on the hill,
But this I know, neath the surface it tos and fros,
With life that my eyes cannot see,
Which moves around hurriedly,
To the currents ebb and flows.

I see the light from the town, atop the hills crown,
And see works of stone, younger than the hills bones,
And like the fish the cars hurry,
All amidst a world of worry,
And here I sit all on my own.

And all amidst the leaves of trees, as autumn grows and summer flees,
This new theorem I propose, that all amidst their quiet repose,
They sit and watch the long years roll by,
And mortal men they see live and die,
But of their thoughts I can only suppose.

Yet on the slow path I must walk, and yet with life I can talk,
And discourse hold with bough and branch, as task to which I wouldn’t blanch,
And all throughout my life’s long days,
Ill tread the lost paths and forgotten ways,
But, for now, I sit alone.
