Someday the Dawn

Here on a lake formed of nature’s creation, tucked away deep in the hills Nary a footprint along sculpted shorelines, visions to capture the thrills Silent reflections of all that’s surrounding, still are the waters this morn Sunlight invades through the meeting of mountains, as a new day now is born Taking a seat at the edge of the waters, skipping a flat rock to see Ripples of wonder in circular motion, waving good morning to me Now as I breathe in the air so alluring, scented of pines ever tall Reaching the heavens in silhouette wishes, echoes enchanting the call Nothing shall find me alone of this moment, lost on the pathways I chart For in the distance I know that she loves me, I feel her love in my heart Someday the dawn it shall bring us together, here in this setting so free For of this beauty so wondrously offered, she is all I long to see

Beauty can only be obscured by greater beauty....and love.....you captured a lovely moment of natural beauty and then wrapped it in the longing of love's beauty. Well cone Chris.

If only...if I had a dollar for every time I said that I'd be...at the lake instead of at work. :) Thanks so much Tim for your always kind words.

I have found myself another favorite. Just unbelievable, I was at a lake yesterday, exactly like this poem. You have written this with such good imagery and portrayal of feelings. I love the skipping rock lines!! :)

Good morning Heidi...wow, that is so cool. Then I guess I will dedicate this poem to you. Because I was just daydreaming but you were actually there. Thank you so much for everything my poetic friend.
