Redefining.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Redefining.

 

All life long it caught slaps

of rain on its watery back.

 

Now broadened the still lake 
with its quiet surface reigns
over illusion while redefining
reality by its unruffled smile. 
Washing troubles with depth
of compassion a pool reflects
methods which resist moody
depression and poise renews.

Water tranquility clears scum 
from former petulant currents
thus retains a welcoming calm
by placidly sinking done harm
into liquid's impeccable weight
so effects changes in negation.

       

Lake's trove of fluid treasure

helps troubled souls re-settle.

  • dusk arising

    So do you reckon i should go for a paddle?

    I was of course thinking of a skinny dip but the last time i tried that my reflection scared me to bits and the birds stopped singing.

      Ha ha - Well calm could be experience just strolling around a peaceful lake - failing that just reading about the vibes lakes give off should do the trick dear friend.

      • dusk arising

        I'm forbidden to venture out for months! The politicians have been ganging up on me telling me i'm to stay shut away (puts on an effeminate accent) so now i know just how a princess feels locked away in a tower. OK i shall reflect upon a lakes peaceful vibe.

        It surely does - if we can get out for our permitted daily exercise, to see it!

        So true, there is nothing quite as wonderful as sitting by quiet waters.
