Joseph May Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

Mountain Lake

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!
