Onekama, Michigan

Rest In Peace, Grandma Mimi
I remember visiting Onekama
Temperate in summer, slightly cool
Half-block walk to the lake
Rolling down Angel Falls,
Steep slope of sand, laughing
Did not understand its meaning
Lovely town, white siding
Hotel, restaurants on edge of water
Sounds of waterskiers, boaters
While anglers gently dipped their lines
Near Portage Point
A day in the sun, returned
Sand in shoes, socks
Ate a cottled egg, fixed fresh
Cooked stirred hot in porcelain
Winter came, once the waves froze solid
Children played, walked yards out
Grandparents gone to rest, the Lake
Near their home
Whispers they have gone beyond
To a place of stillness and comfort
