Poetry: Happiness

by Borek Grotevant

Happiness is a Lake

North of the city

I escape the routine

Kayuta is a small lake

with two small islands

like freckles

you can run between them

it is that shallow

the woods are pristine

the air is pure

the sky crystal blue

late at night you can count

the stars

back to nature

back to the days of innocence

when the swim team was

your biggest challenge

and waterskiing barefoot

your biggest thrill!
