I smile and close my eyes focusing on
The delicate scents stretching out across
The lake, my favourite moment is dawn
Where hope abounds and I suffer no loss.
---
My feet circle slowly in the water,
Fingers touching the worn wood of the dock,
The morning ticks on, the sun feels hotter,
But I’m not ready to look at the clock.
---
Boat engines hum and brash voices begin,
I jump in the lake to drown out the noise
Savouring the coolness on my burnt skin,
All negative thoughts the water destroys.
---
I emerge from the depths blissfully new,
My brave spirit awakened through and through.
