Captured Moment

On a warm summer evening
as stillness settles on the turquoise lake
a solitary golden tree stands 
expanding it's arms outward
 the trees on the shoreline remain
still coated and covered in green 
not wanting to change with the season
the golden leaves visual
on the smooth surface of the lake
reflecting like a half baked sun
a round glowing golden figure
nature's beauty captured
is a photographers dream.
