LAKE

Azure or aqua,
ultramarine,
or thalo green,
the lake is vast,
consuming the horizon.
In summer
sunshine's slanting rays
wash golden dunes
as they drool slowly
like liquid lava
to the waters foamy hedge.
Breezes of the lazy afternoon
skim the surace,
crocheting patterns
to the sandy edge,
as gull flight stitches
sky to water
with winged embroidery,
weaving tapestries
of hues of greens and blues,
cememted to the ledge of memory.
