Lake

The light of the building
acts like a full moon,
as its lumens
reflect on the lake.

The lake shimmers
and sparkles in that glow,
like phosphorescent plankton
that gleam in the Gulf Stream.

A gentle shower
gives voice to the lake,
as the rain-drops
bounce on-and-off.

A gentle breeze
moves the lake as one,
where fish punctuate
the tableau by leaps.

The quiet of early morning
gives you pause,
for the day to begin,
and not begin.
