DAWN ON THE LAGUNA date?

DAWN ON THE LAGUNA

Purple cutouts of mountains,
etched valleys and cold creeks 

tumbling over boulders where ice forms 

on the edges, rising steam off the laguna 

shrouds the lone heron croaking at dawn.
I walk through the mist-filled trees looking 

for the mystery, white light leaps from eddys 

and drops from ice, swims blindly downstream 

and falls into a blue pool at dawn.
