This week’s poem by Anna Bat-Chai Wrobel meditates on the deep connection we all feel with one or two bodies of water in this state littered with lakes and ponds.

 

Lake Reunion

Clearwater Lake – Industry, Maine

By Anna Bat-Chai Wrobel 

 

Why did I come

here and whose

voice speaks in the

loons?

 

Is moon-in-trees

a face I should know?

 

Or is it just me

looking back at

myself water beams

lighting from within?

 

Guitars and voices

lift to stars and treetops

as dragonflies in

battalions guard our

flank and flesh from

stings and bites.

 

This is a wondrous

lake too deep to

fathom

too clear to deny.
