On a Bench by the Lake

2 Comments

In a wide-brimmed hat

and yellow jacket,

head down, hands on

lap, she sat on the bench

by the lake surrounded

by trees just beginning

to show their colors.

Was she meditating,

was she praying or

was she just being?

We’ll never know.

Luna and I walk behind

her, not wanting to

disturb her moment

of peace and solitude.

    this photo reminds me of how my sister sarah used to always wear big-brimmed hats because she was ultra-sensitive to the light.
