The Plunge

 


The silky sand

slanting on grassy dunes

along the Lake Michigan shore

invite my bare feet

to run up the ridge,

around the poplar trees,

and leap in long bounds

back down the slope,

then, high-stepping the waves,

to plunge into the clear, cool water

of magnificent Lake Michigan,

invigorated,

refreshed,

restored.
