A Quiet Place
My peaceful place beside this sapphire lake,
As reflections take on a deep dark blue,
Soft snow sprinkled peaks where my dreams awake
Of the distant mountains through misty view.
My friends, the towering evergreen trees,
A cynosure of strength they lofty stand.
Their ancient heritage my heart does seize
In sylvan majesty upon this land.
As the gloaming grooms evanescent day
So sad I must leave this enchanted place,
With melancholy thoughts I drive away.
I shall return soon to this quiet place
To be with my friends of the kindred kind
Where poetry forms in a peaceful mind.
