RITA'S "RITIN" CHALLENGE #35 A YEAR CAN SEEM SO LONG

A year can seem so long.
Almost a full year,
and he returned to us,.
to the lake and the cabin.
to the place he loves most.
 Especially when the lake misted up
 with early morning ghosts.

Lingering in the quiet,
over his morning coffee,
at the end of the wooden dock.
coffee cup steam mimicking the lake wisps.
The crisp morning quiet was deep,
He so loves those mornings,
surrounded by the deepness of quiet.

We spread his ashes out there
across the lake he loves.
He rests
Embraced in the deep quiet,
cradled in the lake he loves.
