The Lake

The water laps at my feet as I sit under the oak,
The branches give shelter,
The water bring peace.

"I hope you return here in happier times,"
You said.
Is this now?

The water laps at my feet as I sit under the oak,
I stare over the lake,
And I remember.
I look to the hills and I grieve.

The water laps at my feet as I sit under the oak,
Through hazy clouds
A sunbeam lights the water.
As I look to the sky,
Patches of blue appear.

As the wind drops,
I feel the warmth on my skin,
And I wonder,
"Is this hope?"
