A quiet lake in the mountains
Rainbow painted across the sky
Distant thunder speaks with authority
A loon scouting dinner swims by
Light rain feeds sweet Mirror Lake
Rowboats pulled up on the shore
Evening settles into its place
Peace now meaning so much more
Another day has come to an end
Mirror Lake tucked in for night
The Adirondack Mountains disappear
Only to return with tomorrow's light
