Lake

“In serene nature the sailor in me sails on winds of ecstasy toward divine tranquility.” – By Poet In the enchanting emerald landscape the terrain undulates like jade waves in the panorama of pristine cadence, the entrenched elegance of earthen embrace shapes a serene lake. Sublimely sprawling and sparkling, its radiant sapphire face looks up toward the cerulean sky, entranced by its reflection. The serenading southern breeze whispers a mesmerizing music to the dancing ripples, waltzing toward the supine shore with intensely passionate rhythm. The glitter of the rising sun shines on the slithering shadows of trees, lining the contours of the bending banks, imaged on the tranquil fluid mirror. The wavering lotus leaves afloat, oscillate with 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 wade in transparent water with avian grace, their supple napes swivel in an artistic show of aquatic ballet. In the hypnotic gleam of the setting sun, I watch enthralled the opera in the lake. ____________ March 16, 2023 Word chosen : Lake Contest : Writing Challenge - "L" Words Sponsored by : Constance La France
