Lakeside

The path is winding
Across the bow
The people distant
Yet often how

Onward twist
Paddle pull
Rightward list
Shoreline full

Ducks swim
Muskrats duck
Hawkish doves
Across the muck

Breathe out to see
And in to hear
Senses full
The sun revere

Coastal nods
With party noise
Explains the clods
Accelerating toys

And here I am
Floating by
Observers note
Briefly hi
