Hidden Lake Resting Between Snowy Peaks

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. Robert J.
