Lost In Nature

Sun's golden glean cascades over the peak To leave reflections where black waters lay Its beauty stills the enchantment I seek And offers scenes of a peaceful ballet I close my eyes while in this sacred place Where only the sound of my breath is heard My dim soul lights with a flickering trace Tremble's impatiently searching for words My soul is naked, my heart pierced in awe As Nature's masterpiece opens my eyes To grasp the darkness of my spirit's flaws I am moved to smallness beneath its skies How quickly the sun will move from the light How quick it falls silent into the night 1/24/16
