In pristine jade topography terrain rolls up and down... panorama of silent cadence, on its entrenched cradle shaped for a serene lake… sublimely supine, sapphire crystal face looks up toward the cerulean sky… silky span vast. The gliding southern zephyr whispers enticing melody to the dancing ripples… intensely passionate, sliding on slithering shadows of trees lining the contours of lapping shore… alluringly reclined. The wavering lotus leaves float on rhythm of pulsating fervor, the full bloom scarlet flush makes collage of fiery tapestry with feathers of flaming flamingos, their ballerina legs wading emerald waters in avian grace, their supple napes swiveling in arty show of aquatic ballet. In hypnotic gleam of the setting sun I watch the lacustrine opera… silently enthralled. April 5, 2019
