today, the lake anticipates
a force beyond this pea brain’s
scope to colour or articulate
today, the lake recalibrates
a course laid out through aeons
of expectancy and knowing
that the self-same source
who builds the arc and floats
unending opposites to meet,
collide, conceive, abide
resides in seedling form
and sprouts across two hemispheres
electrified by all that I allow to be
exactly as it chooses
laying out in concert with
prevailing tides and gravel
shore, the lake today recalls
me to a potent truth, intelligence
made singular, that nobody
can dam but me.

Lake Shore
Wind curved waves
meeting stones
smoothing, turning
edges slowly
carved into new
dimples of a single
timeless smile.

There is a gentle bit of soul-rocking I feel while reading into the circle of this river’s poem, as if it is gently sifting the depth of that last statement “that nobody can dam but me” into my core.

Thank you, Bridge. Your analogy of sifting helped me clarify a task that I had allowed to “loom” over me. The task is now complete, all dams busted. 😉
