Hilary’s idea
Get up to Lake Louise
Before sunrise
Before tourist clamour
And all red canoes
Dropped into water.
Making unprofessional noise.
Paddles banging on gunwale.
Kids shouting.
Only three cars in the lot.
Five thirty.
Host of hospitable
Gray jays and magpies
Up to frolic or scold
Or serenade.
We have a delightful
Sense of ownership
And contribution.
Our Lake and
Mountain and red sky
Coming out.
Unforgettable.
