Leelanau Haiku No. 2


View From Empire Bluffs


The big lake is calm.

The dunes stand as sentinels.

All as it should be.


There are no mistakes in the universe.

Thoughts To Myself In Leelanau

Image
Standing here ... In the silver glow, On the edge of night And my seventh decade, Thoughts randomly turn to ... The end. Not so much the end of my life. Rather, the end of the story. The story of family and friends, Of laughter and tears, Of hopes and dreams, Of Leelanau sunsets. I fear not the end of my life. I fear the end of the story.                                                                             ..........                    Hi:  When I'm not writing about Leelanau, I host The Conflict Counselor podcast.  Check it out at  https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/Jd5usGy4ASb .  Thanks!

And from there to Lake Michigan. Sometimes I stare at the rushing water,  As if in a trance, Captivated by the sight and sound of it. Sometimes I dream of the stream .... And in my dreams, Drink from the cool, swirling pools along its bank. And sometimes, ... I just envy the little stream. For it knows exactly what to do, And where to go ... In life. See You In Leelanau Up North, Chris                     Visit A Leelanau Landmark:  The little stream in Empire Village                     - forever flowing  next to the Empire House Bed & Breakfast on                      Lacore  Street.  Look for the waterwheel amidst the ce...
