Midnight at Cedar Lake
By George Freek
Leaves fall in the moonlight.
Clouds drift by in pairs,
but they’re here as briefly
as the dead leaves.
Stars shine with a dim light,
which reflects
off the tops of the pines.
The moon drifts slowly
as if it were dragging
an anchor.
What has been
can never come back.
I have many regrets.
And when I look at
this adamant sky,
I know they’re not over yet.
