LakeHouse again
Morning light so sweet,
good to see the light of day
With those we love, again, and again,
Every breath applauding the pleasant light of morning *
Remember these early mornings-remember
Walking and Leaves falling, 🍂 lifting arms, hands raised high to catch them
Looking, she loves the leaves 🍁 and raises her hands -in worship of a kind
-fall beauty
Jumping -to catch the leaves on the way,
to cherish the day as long as can be
The kayaks, blue dotting the lake
The races, the laughter, the smiles
and soaked jeans
Oars splashing -singing grateful,
echoing songs of family
The dock the finish line and underneath they go
Overhead a bald eagle soars looking down,
what a sight, of the lives,
futures bracketed, breathtaking grace
again, and again
Design- Like the spider's intricate web designs,
orderly, strong, and surprising
Frisbee near the lake and football streaming - rest, anticipation and joy throughout
Stories by the fire, sparks light up the tale
warmth all around
Young one’s imaginations,
eyes wide in wonder
The older - children at heart again
All vividly create and build on each other's tale
and pass on the memories of this night
“Your goodness running after me" plays on the speaker in the kitchen
Years, decades, rewind in her mind of the good,
the goodness she sees in them
The past goodness now alive in this moment,
The tears washing fresh to the joy of today
Dockside, swimming until dusk,
Clam shells lining the stairs and shore
Fish jumping and a few caught and released again - like the cares we hold
Canoes, and kayaks along the coves,
Surveying the bounty and glory of the sunshine and the day,
glimmering ripples to the way back, to the Lakehouse
The Sun sets and the fire too
Hide and seek surprise, ping-pong balls bouncing
Chatter in the bunkroom, now softens, and then stills
The wheels on the bus come to a stop
But the minds, still so lively, colorful, and bright as they sleep- then dream
Recalling the full day together, and the year before,
From the moment that I wake up, till I lay my head
Cousins- again filled with love and care of the younger and each other
Brothers and sisters dream above and know that hope is never lost
LakeHouse Again, Glimpse poetry by Joe Holuta
About this poem: LakeHouse Again is a poem about our family taking a weekend getaway to Lake Anna, Virginia. The food and quiet and rest were so refreshing. Jumping in to the lake from the dock a highlight and surprise for sure.
Grandchildren, kayak races with sounds of laughter echoing over the lake. Grandparents in wonder, at the goodness, "taking another circle around the sun."
