One could almost hear the thick rope grinding to and fro beneath the extended arm of a gargantuan oak tree that invited its guests to launch into the cool tranquillity of Lake Yesterday.
As the moon rose on another season of so called splashdowns, a quiet calm gave way to the susurrant speech of loosening leaves whose collective chatter was encouraged by the freshening sweep of a fragrant autumn breeze.

Wow, Edward, I can hear the sound of the creaking rope. I’d like to jump into Lake Yesterday to calm my nerves. Soothing alliteration.

With a few words I am transported to a gentler time. It also stirs words in my mind, nudging, crying to be heard. Perhaps . . .

Love the photo and serene lake as opposed to the collective chatter. I chuckled to myself that I heard much of the latter in my classroom over the years. Thank you for another insightful post.
