Life on the Lake
December 15, 2023
Life on the Lake by Sadie Sutton
Chirping birds awake me from my sleep
Song loud and rhythmic
Stirs emotions, makes me weep
Nothing else could mimic
Why must we be so involved in the modern whirlpool of the world?
We hate what we don't want to understand
We judge what we observe
I ponder this as I sit in the sand
I want to connect with nature
I want to be like the birds
I want to be cold like a glacier
I want to be heard
I love the lake that makes me think
Lake so large, makes me shrink

This piece is one of the three sonnets I wrote for my creative writing class about Lake McConaughy. I go to this lake every summer and every time I feel there, I feel very mindful. This is about things I experience and think of at the lake.
