rainy day in august

this great lake, this michi-gami
misted on this rainy day
dull gray waters melting into
merging with the ashen sky

not like yesterday
sitting on the bluff
looking at the lake
reading and thinking
dreaming and centering
the rising sun creating 
'a shimmering path'
on the watery canvas

read again what
was read in the sun 
read it again
ponder it anew
in this glorious gloom
    does it mean the same?
    more or less?
