The first gleam of dawn
Wake her up from sweet dream
light fog, silver veiling
Grey mountains far away
The Sun climbs up
Shine on her clear face
Behind reed
She try to hide
Birds sing morning songs
Willow gently touching her smooth cheek
Cloud waving in the sky
Seeing smile in her eye
Kissing of the twilight of sunset
Redden her face
The moon intoxicated in her lullaby
Water lily sleeping peacefully in her chest

Definitely a relaxing read, thank you very much!
That is how I feel every time I watch that picture. Thank you.
Beautifully written, M&M! That picture really inspired you!
But why 'she'? Why not 'He', or maybe 'It'? Just kidding! Trying to be PC!
Thank you FP. A good question, you got me.
Just call it artistic freedom! With that you can write anything you want! 🙂
Enjoy I did - a refreshing read
I am glad you enjoying it.
Almost felt myself there. Great imagery. I may drop a line in the water since I am here anyway.
Every time I looked at the picture, I sit far, imagine myself sitting at the lakeshore. Thank you for reading.
Thanks for sharing M & M ~ Lakes are so so soothing ! Because the Lakes in England are so small (lees than 15 miles long or two miles wide wide) that one always feels safe ~ swimming ~ sailing ~ canoeing ~ fishing etc. To live near a Lake is always a Blessing. We should all protect our Lakes from pollution and misuse. Yours BRIAN
Yes. Lake is so calm and always give a peace of mind. Thank you for reading.
Great lyrical imagery took me right to what you were seeing and made me feel the Lake ... well done
