nothing original at North Twin Lake
nothing original to be said
about reflections, rocks,
sand, or water - except that
every experience is the first
breath of discovery,
over and over again. so take
that first barefoot splash
to stand on the warm island
of black rock, and create
ripples - wherever you go.
