Out On The Lake

Out On The Lake

A Poem by Healing Star
"

Thoughts of my Pop, he was a wonderful man, and is an Amazing Being who's here with Me NOW. Though his body rests with the dust.

"
We'd always start Out, with High Hopes
Thinkin' we'd Hook the Big One
But by mid-afternoon it's Always the Same
Wakin' from the Burn from the Sun

Driftin' out on the Calm Waves
It would always roll us to Sleep
And as I remember those summer Days
Well papa, it brings me to Weep

The Starcraft always brought us Home
Even when the Canopy was taken to the Sky
And now it sits quiet and Alone
And as I remember it just makes me want to Cry

But too, it brings back my boyhood Smile
As I remember you, out on the Lake
You were always Happy all the While
If we caught our catch or nothin' Take

Even with the ol' nine horse 16 Footer
On the Lake called Michigamme
You were born on one end of Her
And on the other was born Me

About the only thing I have twas Yours
Is that Starcraft, that I toed and never Road
But it's 'bout the only thing I got twas Yours
So how can I let, how can I let her Goed

To you Pop, I wish we shared a Few More
Of those Days, out on the Lake
And many times when I look at Her dry Moored
I Remember your Smile ... Out on the Lake

I am a man who has finally realized he needs to write down what matters to him, that I might learn from myself, what is important, what I value. To capture who I am now, for that is all we have is no.. more..
