Looking Across Windermere

The waters sparkle in the sun as the breeze lifts across the lake the yachts settle in their berth looking out as it stands abrake The skies show its beauty in the morn revealing pastel blue as waters show it's stillness to be as creation intended so true The ducks sail through the waters creating more than a little wave birds fly in the horizon such loveliness one needs to save Looking high up to the hills shows the greenery of it's landscape words can't describe such a picture your eyes are bewildered by it's shape The trees across the lake fills your view with such splendour completes the full picture you see summing up the creator's perfect agenda The agenda makes all things perfect in the eternal God's appropriate time showing His perfect sovereign control making all things beautifully sublime AUTHOR NOTES: Just some thoughts on a weekend stay on Lake Windermere on England's lake district a few weeks ago waking up from my bedroom window looking across the lake.
