Lake Superior Shore

Fog on the water
Jagged shorelines
Large boulders
Piles of pebbles
A rush of peace.
Face it head on
Soak it up
Lock it in
An image
Of that lichen-covered shore
It’s important
That you take it in
So you can bring it home
With rock-filled pockets
And picture-filled cameras
A memory
Of that depth of peace
Scoop it up
Tuck it in your heart
A fond recollection
Kept
For after the dream is shattered
When you leave it behind
