Edging Away

 The river might not have frozen over this winter

but the lakes did

and still are.

Every time I Look at this island just bursting with trees

dancing trees

I think of Emily Carr

and how she would have painted it.

Close to shore cracks are appearing

revealing water below.

Slowly releasing it's icy grip on the land.

Reflecting on on the changes to come

and how it will dance with the winds

and mirror the sun all summer long,
