Out on the Lake
A canopy of cloud covers the moon
For a moment I panic
Losing my way
My heart pounding against my breastbone
The lantern shows itself in all it’s glory
I paddle ashore, my spare body grateful

I love the imagery in this poem! And i love how you signify how the loss of the moon is a source of panic because you relied on it for light while you swam 🙂
You successfully created an image of calm turned panic to relief and gratitude! I felt these moments….
Well done Sandy.
