The lake was brown today
The angry wind courses through my veins
Sending foamy thoughts astray
Unabiding waves kiss stubborn, rock hard habits
The lake was brown today
The lake was stirred today
The beauty of bending pine
An echo of sunlight at
Its horizon line
The lake was stirred today
The lake was ill today
Coughing water like thick blood
Onto an uneasy shore
A hiccup of an upset God
The lake was ill today
The lake cried for me today
Fluttering paper, shrieking trees
And all the fighters, fallen leaves
Sang a symphony of empathy
The lake cried for me today
The lake was brown today
Nature hath born again from morning grey
To change, to react, to passionately say
"I am here and here I stay"
The lake was brown today
