Undisturbed


A soft fabric of fog

lingers over the lake.

A hush hanging

in the atmosphere.



An absence of sound,

until...



A line of Canada Geese

breaks the silence

because they now see me

standing on the dock.



As the fog slowly lifts,

the geese gabble

to each other.

Louder by the minute.

Faster by the minute.


A commotion of sound,

until...



They lift above

the thinning veil of fog,

gather in a loose formation,

and fly into the faint morning breeze,



seeking a larger lake

to swim in the shallows

and feed

undisturbed.
