In cloud kissed realm of lofty peaks Lies the clear blue waters of a pristine lake On which the wind meanders and gently speaks To a rising mist as dawn awakes The sounds of nature calms the soul Leading to a blissful peace Songs to heaven its beauty does extol Unveiling melodies which never cease A bird of prey soars in the sky As colorful fish dart to and fro He has a treetop view from on high Riding the thermals wherever they go A woodpecker knocks on the door of a tree As I submerge in this lake of bliss A bluebird replies with a song of glee And as I surface, the sky I kiss! --- 5/11/17
