Redefining.
Like a painting the still lake
with its quiet surface reigns
over disillusion, it redefines
reality by an unruffled smile
at my troubles with a depth
of compassion as it reflects
back clues to restore mood
as quiesence a pool renews.
A tranquil pool stirs no scum
from storm\'s wilder currents
so maintains an orderly calm
by placidly sinking any harm
that would delight to negate
a mind\'s trust in kind nature.
Yes, water\'s becalming effect
aids my heart to really settle.
Praise for water\'s translation
from unease to non-agitation.
