We buzzed slowly up Loon Lake in little old Bombie
to our favorite deserted island,
pungent with the irresistible elixir of sun-baked sphagnum moss…
to spend the afternoon alone
together
Well, not quite alone…the beach was rather crowded with these miniature frogs…
and there definitely were onlookers who viewed us with suspicion for having come to spoil their repose.
But otherwise, we had the world to ourselves.
And I couldn’t help reflecting, why us, here, now…
At leisure to enjoy such beauty… (and such reflections!)
I don’t have the answers except to know that it is all of grace,
and I am grateful.
