Poem

Hidden Lake Resting Between Snowy Peaks 

Cold lake in the clouds soothes his weary soul, 
among towering, silent, mountain peaks. 
Life's troubles have taken a heavy toll, 
sadness rasping in his voice when he speaks. 

He conjured better images of calm sound 
on glistening snow-white sandy rock slopes. 
Gentle waves, lapping over boulders round 
when seen this close, no need for telescopes. 

Icy chills stir fresh mountain lake airs 
as he camped at his cherished hiding spot. 
Here he could rest, abandoning his cares 
forgetting reasons why she loves him not! 

Magnificent reward for climbing here, 
holding clear lake view beautifully deep, 
in solitude he could abandon fear, 
entering heaven's realm in restful sleep.
