The Lake- circa 6th/7th grade

The Lake
Tonight the rain is falling

into the lake.

The tender haze rests on top

of the dark majestic water.

The droplets of rain land on the lake,

making a pattern

Then slowly join the flow.

The trees seem to bend in reverence to the black sky.

Though no stars shine,

no stars are needed

For the darkness defines itself.
