Two A.M.

                                                                  

For a place that's often tumult, chaos, wind-din,

Throughout each of the seasons,

Dawn to noon to dusk to midnight,

This lake space, named Nebagamon,

Is inordinately serene, peaceable, becalmed,

This forty-degree night of dark light,

Close in winter's focus.

 

And here am I (or is it my spirit?),

Meditating, on my dock, at two a.m.,

Tingling with September exhilaration,

Over water so still,

I can hear fish swishing through the stars,

Three fathoms below the cosmos,

Enticing November's ice into this lake's shape.
