When faith in mankind is gone, What faith then belongs? So I went to Aura Vale Lake today, To lay around, swim and play. Sitting below the weeping willow trees, With that warm summer's breeze, I began to feel one with nature, Its essence I felt, I could capture. My faith itself then had returned, Not in man himself, that would be absurd, So I went for a quick dip in the lake, Swam with the ducks and the male drakes. The water refreshing and very cool, I prefer fresh water than any pool, Again I was feeling one with nature, But had forgotten my pen and paper. Just as well I thought to myself, For this was more for my spiritual health, I could not leave this adventure prematurely, Not even for poetry, I thought surely!

A wonderfully spiritual poem, WW. Having your faith return was the best part of a beautiful day you just described. Real vibrant and inspiring poem, my Aussie friend. Loved it. Love and joy to you.
