The Cold Hard Beautiful Morning

The Cold Hard Beautiful Morning

Early this beautiful morning

Black Lake is still 

smoke settles above the water

red and golden colours everywhere

 reflections on the glassy surface

But it's gotten colder out here

and thoughts of winter chills my bones 

autumn's now so near

always coming hard and pretty--with a sting

like the mood of a mercurial woman

waking up too early Sunday morning 

But my friend the Loon suddenly comes to call

today he seems especially inspired;

 singing out his song

telling me how alive I am

and that nothing really matters

but this moment—here and now

very cool comment Susan, I like your comments a lot, thank you....yeah I love the autumn lake in the morning scenario, but it's been done a million times over and puts my feet to sleep to be honest; flowery description, colours everywhere, beauty peace yada yada yada, lol....it is pretty by the lake but it's also cold,  I suppose that could be exhilarating so I tried to bring another element to make it more three dimensional as well...thanks for taking the time to read my friend, glad you liked the mercurial woman touch as well...have a super Sunday.
