Seemingly endless days of rain give way to sunshine. Overnight lows in the twenties and daytime highs in the forties help dry out soggy lands. Controlled releases of Lake Jordan into the Cape Fear River Basin lower water levels five feet and open a few lake access roads. Late afternoon I venture to several favorite scenic locations and find the lake still extends significantly into shoreline woodlands. Waning daylight adds magical touches to the water-logged forest.
Daylight wanes on shimmering lake waters,
Liquid solace spills into flood-ravaged lands,
Cathedrals of pine dance in fluid reflections,
God’s in the pines, peace reigns in the world.
