The ripples glide across the lake
With the brightness of the moon,
The solitude is broken
By the calling of a loon.

Its lonely cries pierce through the night
And bring memories to mind
Of happy days, of joys always,
Of love left far behind.

The harvest moon reflects for miles
From the far side of the lake,
The loon's outlined as it flaps its wings
For the flight it now must make.

Lonely cries in the early dawn
Bring the thought one can't express.
Is it sad?  Is it glad?  Is it thoughts of love
Lost in the wilderness?

The spring will come when the loons return
With the bliss of lasting love.
The loon will call from across the lake,
And its sound reminds one of

That yesteryear when the touch was there,
And the look within the eye

Made forevers seem like that endless spring
When they said their last goodbye.
