HE WHO HOLDS OUR TOMORROWS (A Kelly Lune)

Lest we soon forget

at day's end

Who holds tomorrow

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.
