Mountaintop Lake

Whole night snow fell in the mountains Surrounding the blue oval lake Downhill sang the gurgling fountains In our window mystic snowflake At morning the coloured fishes Look at coloured birds on tree tops Both after their golden wishes Merry morning in their love drops Clear blue water in the cool sun All around the snow laden peaks Love and peace look from the lemon Many a word the dimples speaks The lake perches within the hills Shadows in a snowy whisper With pines around us we stand still Summer flows into the winter It is the story of our life The wheel turns from ice to warm sun And then to cool snow from the strife Glisten the flakes on your hair bun Dusk descends on the sun soaked lake At the end of lyrics of breeze Our eyes moved to where stars awake And moon draws shadows of the trees Then the lake in contemplation Of apple leaves rustling in air Inhaling the meditation We are in a lake like prayer ____________________________________________ 18 May 2017

Reminds me of the clear crystal lakes beneath the snow capped Himalayas in Nepal. Which also stretch into India of course.Thank you for taking me back there Probir.
