Water Fire

                                                                  

 

This matchless, scintillating early Saturday morning,

The wedge of lake just slightly to my eyes' left,

That portion directly under the radiant sun,

Is a dazzlingly faceted brilliant-cut marquise diamond

Flickering with a million pinpricks from the day-star's flames.

 

My mind, blinded by the rippled skittering of the waves,

Has begun imagining, with some faint trepidation,

That, instead, this might be a grass fire on a glass prairie,

Raging, fast, out of control, toward my cabin,

Not to consume me, rather inspire the rest of my sojourn.
