The Lake

The lake is my solace A blanket of healing ripples for my troubled mind and heart A calm to my restlessness I sit on this dock in awe and wonder My thoughts are as deep as the waters in front of me, and as vast as the sky above me Beyond the cattails, ducks silently paddle along The choir of crickets reverberate a soothing white noise, steadily humming and numbing my emotional unrest My soul is anxious to be at peace All the while, the world awakens around me Morning routines start come to life The sun begins to rise, holding the promise of another beautiful summer's day I yearn to bask in the warmth of its radiant rays And embrace the beauty surrounding me A remedy for my soul @katladyt_ August 7, 2020
