Willow Lake

His tongue
Lapping up Willow Lake
Made ripples
I rode them
To the base of the mountain
Where I sat on my throne
A stump rising
From the water
King for a day
My face beaming
Kissed by the sun
My hair made golden
From there I watched
Two beautiful creatures
Walking together
Rejoicing in the wonder
Beneath and before them
Their voices
Bouncing over the lake
Echoing
Up the mountain
Then stillness
A snapshot of a moment
In our time
On our paths
The three of us
Together
