A poem I won $500 bucks with.
16 years ago
By a Crystal Lake
By a crystal Lake,
Like a becalmed boat on sandy shores,
I sit, silenced.
Just a mere observer,
As life unfolds,
Like a well-written play,
Veterans and novices,
-All competing for appraisal
I watch,
Bemused, yet vibrating
With sudden realization,
Of the absolute truth
While the sun,
Religiously as ever,
Worships the earth…
(Whatch think?)
