Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe

When I first saw the sunlight

Gild the waves, choppy with wind

With a backdrop of rain

I fell in love, and knew,

That I would have to come back

Again and again.

I come again, and the snow falls

The contrast of light and dark

The water looks inviting, even though

I know that it is, in fact, bitterly cold.

And I know I need to come

Again and again.

I see the shores gilded by dawn light

It takes my breath away, this view

Every time I look at it,

I fall in love with the lake

Over and over again

This is a place, I think

That I could raise children

And the thought fills me with delight.

Picturing them swimming

In this lake

This love of my life.

And I must return over and over and over…

I have fallen in love with a location, and I love it more every time I come up here. I look forward to the day that I can bring my sweeties to this place.
