Lake Gratitude

There is a hole in the earth It lays in the west far from the city crowds. It is the berth of forest and wildwood It is majestic in its watery discourse It is where the earth's crust met the sky Conjoined and shared their distinct elements Where mountains reached upwards to their destiny Yet was besieged and shaped by this kismet Divined and immersed with the waters of life A contest of perfect union Pitting the magnitude of years of conflict and resolution A saga birthing a new landscape A masterpiece of colors and substance to behold And in this concourse of creation has evolved All that is worthy for those who perceive its' artistry Tis the profound worship for love and beauty For all that appreciate its perfection
