Place to Swim, Place to Ponder

               
In the winter it is covered with the white ice
From edge to edge, it's rocky walls gripped by ice
Even layer after layer of winters snow falls
Lying there protecting what hass been put there by us

After the winters have gone and ice begins to melt
this is the time when everyone awaits there fun
Slowly the ice cracking and melting until all has gone
Only the few pieces and now the ripples of tiny waves appear

Wind blowing, making the ripples but really no waves
Void of currents even massive under toes that pull you away
It is all but calm and blue, green color, but big and wide
Without all this it does fill every year, gettin higher and higher

Slowly by the time the trees are in full blume, the waters are warm
They only a bit cool but soothing to the hot individual, who seeks fun
With trees with leaves and strawberries poping up at its edges
The people who travel here, are at their glory, finding there place

With it's high rock cliffs that get smaller every year as it fills
People toss their bodies into its cool waters, refreshing enough to yell
Some float in the tiny ripples, other even came to bathe in this pool
But most of all it is a place born out of greed for money, turned fun

For all the years they took the stone out of the cory, tore the earth
The trucks of gravel I never remember, heard the stories about
Even the buildings I see left in the water, the stone rubble and trash
I guess we can say mother earth gave us a place to swim, in the cory
