Lacustrine Opera

In the pristine jade landscape the terrain rolls undulating... the panorama of pristine cadence, on its entrenched earthen cradle shaped for a serene lake… sublimely supine sparkling, the sapphire crystal face looks up toward the cerulean sky... mesmerized. The gliding southern zephyr whispers an enticing melody to the dancing ripples… intensely passionate concentric rhythm, sliding on the slithering shadows of trees, lining the contours of the lapping shore... adorned. The wavering lotus leaves float on the vibration of pulsating fervor, the full bloom scarlet flush of flower makes the collage of a fiery tapestry with the feathers of flaming flamingos, their ballerina legs wading the emerald waters in avian grace, their supple napes swiveling in arty show of aquatic ballet... surreal. In the hypnotic gleam of the setting sun I watch the lacustrine opera… enthralled. May 10, 2021 Contest : Nature Sponsor : Regina McIntosh
