There was a still lake
Katie Glatzle
There was a still lake,
timeless in its beauty.
Chirping birds, rocky sand, and clear skies surround,
as distant laughter sounds.
The long wooden dock faces faraway
mountains and neighboring houses— all this lake
has ever known.
Its main purpose is to be a pretty
background to the people
coming and going.
Bound to observe their surroundings
while the lake ends where it started—
unmoving.
