At the lake
My time, I take
I count
12 planes is the amount
They fly from the North to the South
256 red lights ride into the city's mouth
189 white double lights cross the twin
I only can wonder where they've been
6 fish jump for air
Are they curious to why I sit and stare?
I take 5 steps then sit back down
To watch 20 lights flicker from the town
In the horizon, there they dance
Don't blink or you'll miss your chance
Then 1 bird lands beside me
Slowly, I breathe
4 flaps he takes before flying free
2 shooting stars strive to reach heaven
The hour hand strikes eleven
3 waves crash to say goodbye
My dear friend, until next time
