A Day In May

I dip my toes into the lake beneath our dock of Summers gone. Chilled skin meets sun, soft in their wake as Mayflies hum in misty dawn. A day of flushed sky overhead. Bare legs sway from the splintered planks to songs of joy unlimited as loons take flight from marshy banks. Written for: A Lay for A Day in May Contest, 5/9/22

This flows so smoothly. As peaceful as an early morning's toe-dip in a clearwater pond! Delightful, Rhonda! ~ Gershon
