The Lake

The blue water of the the lake slowly flows by bringing  a  peaceful feeling 

My inner peace is coming to life, which the stress has been concealing 

The calm of the trees, finally green from spring, and the blossoms springing from the ground, is so serene

I’m breathing in the air slowly and enjoying the scene 

The tranquil breeze touches my face causing me to breathe deeply  and close my eyes 

I’m  enjoying the still and quiet  as all my anxiety quickly dies

The birds have started chirping , the heron has come out to play
  
I can now enjoy the lake for another precious day

I have a favorite spot i go when I write, and you just described it. Every word made me want to strap on my hiking boots and get back there. Thank you for sharing!
