Rice Lake

the sound of ripples wraps the
silence of the moss-sprinkled ground
inviting an orchestra of angled sunlight
to come center stage
painting every somber leaf yellow
a grey squirrel leaped from a tree trunk

wilted leaves patiently await their first flight
"they right breeze will set us free"
they thought
as they dance from side to side
