There’s a magnificent place, or rather, there’s a magnificent bunch of places, on the north shore of Lake Superior…
The orchestral rocks
play water music
of bubbles leaping to fall
in twisting melodies
Joining harmonics
with inrushing wind
bowing violin-branches
as forest choir sways
Lead voices glide in
on white feather wings
lonely and soaring cries
a haunted reverie
Bringing the rhythms
percussive small feet
rustle in whisper-brushes
on cymbals of dying leaves
Superior sounds
explode to the sky
in rolls of breaker drums
or wistful foghorn sighs
North Shore Symphony
plays on emotions
calling us back forever
echoing in memory.
Casey Mack (1991)
