New Poem: "A View from the Water"

 

 

A View from the Water

 

I got a view from the water the other

day as we cruised the Penetanguishene

and Midland harbors on our neighbor’s

pontoon boat, and my love and I got

to see how the upper side lived, lake

house after lake house, one more

enviable than the other, and without

a twinge of rancor or resentment I smiled

in respectful appreciation of the more

accomplished and successful, spending

their precious few hours and stolen

weekends during our finite summers on

their boats to destress from their business

and profession that allows them to enjoy

the simple pleasures and sweet comforts

of their beautiful lakeside home on

the shores of Georgian Bay.
