On Shore of Lake Ontario

On shore of Lake Ontario

Does my day’s journey go

To where the breezy water breaks

To where gusty lake-winds blow

All along the pier and benches

Water floods and breaks

Washing the sun-drenched pier

Giving what pier takes

Gulls and geese stand steadfast

Against full lake breeze blast

So as it has been and is now

So I have come at last

Burning skies above me

Windy moan on sails

Across Great Lake Ontario

Big Smoke calls and hails

I venture on along the shore

In motion do I ride

Treaded path of gravel crunch

Along secret paths I hide

I come onto sandy spot

And sit amongst the sand

Lake and sky and sun and beach

Stretch out along the land

Air will smell of lake-breeze

Sun comes beaming down

Summer comes and it comes now

Upon this sleepy town

I like the feel of this piece, a solitary beach with the sound of the lapping water and smell of the clean lake water.
Another piece well written!!!
