Early Morning on Lake Wylie
As darkness lifts its veil
allowing in some blue
morning light
moving twinkles from the sky
to the early dew
fog drifts on the water
wiffs and fuffs
weaving a gray blanket
of cool damp lava
flowing slowly
towards open channels
The chirps of early birds
keeping time
to the silent dips
as oars break the smoothness
of water yet rippled
by wind or bow of boat
moving the likeness of man
quickly throuh the wiffs and puffs
for fleeting moments
as shell and man move away
