Mauthe Lake Poem by Michael Peterson

Long scenic drive to her
A beautiful park and lake
Enjoying the crisp fall air
The beautiful fall landscape
The peacefulness she brings
The huge lake is so calming this time of the year
A lone canoe with two fishermen afloat
Trying to make a few late season catches
The waves so gently wave
The beach deserted, a few hikers here and there
The scenery so gorgeous, mother nature at her best
As I stroll the trails, you could hear a pin drop
The slight wind blowing thru the trees
A few birds still chirping, a few heading south
A squirrel here and there
The brisk air feels good on the face
The smell of fresh rain tingles the nose
As I walk the fishing pier I notice a few fishes
Enjoying the lake without hooks harms
So peaceful to walk her mighty landscape
Clears the mind and makes you think
How such a wonderful place survived man
As the sunset on the lake, it brings a chilling breeze
Night to all who came to enjoy her
Maybe I will be back, who know
Mauthe Lake, mother nature's wonderland
A Haven for all to to have peace and mind
