Reflections of Lake Mistinikon

Reflections

A Lake that made so many impressions on me 

40 years of memory's

This lake gave me joy and grief

it tried to take my life.

frost bite.

Beautiful views and nature's harvest.

Moments so pure

with so many friends past and spots on the map

Whiskey Jack, Alcatraz, Horse Shoe

Sunken, Woodpecker

Ahmic creek

and so much more

Mistinikon Mist

Rub a Dub Dub

Light Streams

light streams

through maple trees

a dance upon a frozen canvas

sparkles to and fro

Colour comes forth, not seen before.

The sun beams, and gives me a feeling

soft quiet peace and joy.

Cold Dark Current

The Current

Cold,

Dark,

It will pull you under.

Numb to its touch,

you fight to no avail.

its quick and painless.

Destination...down river.

Winter Bones

"The wind makes you ache in some place that is deeper than your bones.

It maybe that it touches something cold in the human soul,

a chord of race memory that says , Migrate or die -

migrate or die"

~Stephen King



Flowers Past

Flowers past

were flowers loved

they live long in our photographs

memories, cherished

 only to be shared

and not forgotten.

Winter Squalls

Winter Squalls

A harsh reminder of  our northern life,

white layered  landscape.

A white covered eye.

Blind is the feeling,

desperate is the truth.

Winter is in control of my life!

~J.E Ted Gardner

The Great White North

Hard to believe there is

a garden out there!!
