Poetry: By the lake

by Alistair Marquise

Created on: November 19, 2011   Last Updated: November 20, 2011

Enamored with the hexagonal criss cross of the inner pagoda
My safety in shapes
I hear the song of the billions, their harmony a chorus of one
The voice of the lake
In a breeze crisp with music and the fallen leaves blown from sentinel trees
The park's soft caress
"Myself" loses form, and crumbling, is scattered to the rippled mirror
Now one with the rest
