A/n this is a lake that I visit every year in the summer

Like a faithful friend
you are always there,
whether the weather is
rain or sun.

Early in the morning
like a mirror
smooth and glassy.

Then diving into the water
breaking the spell
scattering fish everywhere.
flicking their tails.

Falling off a jet ski
you are there
to catch me
with a laugh
and a splash.

When the wind roars
churning you up
with lighting and thunder
to lull me to sleep.

A friend who will
catch you when a wave trips you up,
or cool you down from the burning sun
an element
a vacation
my friend.
