Finding My Place

              

Were it not for the twenty-mile-per-hour gusts

Stirring up the air, to a majestic turbulence,

Tuning the trees to a sonorous, melodic cacophony,

 

This incandescent Lake Nebagamon afternoon,

These sixty-six degrees

Would actually be, if it's possible, almost too hot.

 

As was the case on my last visit, this past June,

The lake's surface is a frenzy of argent water spirits.

Only, this time, they recognize me; I'm certain of it.

 

But for all its boisterous noise,

This hazy-blue, sun-blazing Thursday

Finds its place, in the sheltering realm of my being,

 

So easily, so palpably, so peacefully, so naturally,

I might never have left here, three months ago.

Maybe, this trip, I won't go home.
