SUNSET ON THE MAUMEE

Meandering the ancient lake bed,

She makes her way to Erie’s Maumee Bay.

Earlier, she held throngs of fishermen,

Hip-deep, and shoulder-to-shoulder,

Angling for walleye.

As Keith and I take our evening walk,

She pauses to mirror azure, mingled with

Billows of auburn and butterscotch.
We smile. 
It isn't often she stands still for a photo shoot.
