paint 

white dotted paint across a lilac canvas was the sky

the descending sun issued the entrance of the stars

for a moment

the celestial objects were together

time stood in angst

the beloved lake is a safe haven

soft trickling waves rock a boat as sleep melts in

on your back you lay tasting sweet life

but the sun grows jealous of the moon's attention

so it dances into the sky shoving away

the stars and moon

and you let the boat pull you to shore

This piece was inspired by my summer trips to Minnesota! My aunt and uncle have a beautiful rustic lake house in the woods and it's my favorite place in the whole world. Every night I go out on the dock and look up at the stars and it is the most magical sight ever.
