Stillness permeated from the lake.
Trees stood still, branches stoic in the wind.
Actually, it felt like wind died as it approached the lake,
or maybe
all the molecules found their spaces to be.
No evidence of animal life anywhere โ
no tracks nor droppings or food.
Not even insect bites on leaves.
Youโre sure the ecosystem ought to be suffering,
but itโs lush and green.
He/they. I teach English at a junior high school in western Washington. Outside of work, I worry about a myriad of things and spend time outside.

Beautiful and somewhat ominous…
Some natural place do indeed emanate a powerful presence.
Reverence I guess is a feeling one develop quickly when wandering alone in the wild.
a superb write.
