Midnight Lake

Suspended on a satin hush,

stars above and stars below.

Sheen of sapphires dark and lush

rippling in the quiet flow.


Treetops fade

into the stars.

Moonlight arrayed

in silver bars.


Silence prehistoric,

I hear my thought.

Loneliness euphoric,

so long I sought.


Serenity before the birth

of When, or Where, or Why;

Am I floating on the Earth

or drifting in the sky?


At last the path to camp I take

and turn my boat to shore.

May peace dwell on Midnight Lake

now and forevermore.
