A Placid, Blue Lake
A placid, blue lake
extends through the dense
valley of pines and firs;
its soft sky has the color
of the calm water below,
and it gleams as the mildest breeze
makes the red poppies gently sway!
I walk along it
as ducks float serenely
and they show no fear;
how peaceful is Nature
when no sounds are heard,
no voices break its tranquility!
The balminess of the spruces
fills the nostrils with a pungent aroma
that I delightfully breathe in...
purifying the senses and driving out
the stale air trapped in clogged lungs!
And going further, I discover
a small creek where the bubbling lake
drains into to disappear down its narrow course;
I compare my excitement to the flowing water
that splashes through rocks to reach the immense sea!
