Lacustrine Opera


In bejeweled jade landscape
the topaz terrain rolls
as wondrous waves,  
undulates with
sculpted panorama 
of captivating cadence,
entrenches in earthen frame
the sprawling shape 
of a placid lake,
sublimely sparkling,
the shining sapphire face 
looking up entranced
toward the cerulean sky,
spread serene on
boundless blankness.

The southern zephyr
whispers enticing melody
to the rhapsodic ripples,
rolling aquatic rhythm, 
intensely passionate,
stretching in seraphic span  
of self-centric array,
sliding on slithering shadows 
of the dancing trees,
lining the contorted contours
of the splashing shore,
emerald adorned.

Malachite lotus leaves 
float flamboyant
with pulsating fervor,
the ruby flush 
of full bloom
makes the collage 
of fiery fresco
with fanning feathers 
of flaming flamingos,
their ballerina legs wading
the lazuline waters 
in avian grace,
supple napes swiveling
in charismatic concerto 
of aquatic ballet,
rapturous recital
performed unruffled
in hypnotic gleam
of the setting sun,
chromatic spectrum
composes the sonata 
for lacustrine opera.
