The wake,
the ripples shimmer shore to shore
Early morning sounds
Laughter echoing from the kayaks, swimming, and island floating
Fishing and campfire songs
Sisters singing and dancing as in years before
Time to think and dream again
Distractions far and away
Childhood wonder- lakeside
Pontoon, houseboats, and jet skis racing away the day, like it is the last day
Family taking a breath
Been so good to me
Time after time
The trails near the LakeHouse well rambled
The older, the young, the new mom-infant in arm all walk the same trails
Family, discovery, newness
Sandy beach and bodies
Uncrowded, swimming laps
Unhooking fish, gentle releasing
Freedom and shelter from … life
From the pace
A cove quiet
A freedom cove
a view renewing
A harvest moon revealing
Night sounds restoring
Acorns dropping sounds as
Squirrels nest tirelessly
Rest so peaceful
Mercy never ending
Truth everlasting
Generations lasting as they take
“Another circle around the sun”
“Time really is a circle. I can see that now.”
But then you look and see...
The newness, surrounding beauty,
True joy, contentment
LakeHouse, Glimpse poetry by Joe Holuta
About this poem: LakeHouse is a poem about our family taking a weekend getaway to Lake Anna, Virginia. The time was Maude's first vacation with her cousins and family. The food and quiet and rest were so refreshing. Sisters singing and dancing around the fire light as in earlier years. Grandchildren swimming with mom and dad with sounds of laughter echoing over the lake. Grandparents in wonder, at the newness, "taking another circle around the sun."
“Because the Eternal is good,
His loyal love and mercy will never end,
and His truth will last throughout all generations.”
Psalm 100:5 voice
