Hi, friends!
I grew up a few hours away from the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York.
Fondly regarded as the North Country, my mom’s family had camps scattered along glacial lakes throughout the Adirondacks. So many great memories.
There is something spiritual in the way we connect with nature in the quiet of the night, sitting by a lakeshore. A communion of sorts.
This poem tries to capture that moment of ethereal connection.
I would love to hear your thoughts in the Comments Section below.

in starlight
meet me by the lakeshore
under sapped northern pines
who sigh so rapt and soft
‘neath nightshade’s breezed caress
share in solemn astral joy
where still water and sky
bound handfast in starlight
reflect love in all its
limitless potential
bathe in haunted loon song
midst twilight reveries
our bated breaths
our spirits pirouette
loosed upon cool mountain air
bind us as one forever
to each other in starlight
to the gray ground fog
which gathers us body and soul
Beautiful reminder of those days spent camping under the stars and moonlight…just that connection with nature and that place your mind and body seem to drift off to when you are out underneath that sky…fantastic poem!
