The Summer sun shimmered upon the lake. Sunny-side up, the sky, the brightest soak. Its reflection - a breathing space intake. Stay on the path for its easy, light yolk. The darker side, with two-sail boat, deep sighs. In awe of ebb and flow, in Spirit’s glide. In the shadow of God, in morning rise, before your chores call you - a soothing ride. Serenity is deep and wide. A smile of warmth before the Fall. Glass eyes glisten. Your heart, is calm, in solitude. Do wile away the day, to soothing splash. Listen… Lax days, upon the sea and sky, compose. You hide in God’s glory - swaddled shadows.
