Lake

myself and me

 

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

    • myself and me

      That is how I feel every time I watch that picture. Thank you.

    • FredPeyer

      Beautifully written, M&M! That picture really inspired you!
      But why 'she'? Why not 'He', or maybe 'It'? Just kidding! Trying to be PC!

      • myself and me

        Thank you FP. A good question, you got me.

        • FredPeyer

          Just call it artistic freedom! With that you can write anything you want! 🙂

            Almost felt myself there. Great imagery. I may drop a line in the water since I am here anyway.

            • myself and me

              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
