A PLACID LAKE


Lord,
My whole being a placid
Lake,
Expecting Thy holy visage to be
Reflected upon 
For 
Its waters to be sanctified
And  
I-once more-to be born!

Peering into the placid pool of water at the creeks edge
She retreated in shock at the old wrinkled white-headed lady
Her mother's ghost must have appeared instead of her own reflection

Fear and disbelief engulfed her warm spirit of youthfulness
As she hopped, slightly bent back up the...

Zephyrus breezes speak gently-
Undertones of placid eras alive in memory-

Tumult rages awaiting rigorous gates to detonate their command,
Planning utter obliteration of finite serene ways…

Blue and pink swirls of peaceful dusk
Replaced with a grey and murky inferno 

Eyes of Hades suck cherished life 
from all vibrant...

Its a warm winters day.. the sun's shining high in the powder blue sky 
A  wisp  of a  feather cloud faintly visible is the  only cloud  to be seen
Powder blue gently blends  to light blue on  the ...

placid is a place i want to be,
a Grandma Moses painting
set in the bucolic scene of
a red barn crowned with a
rooster weather vane as
children carry water buckets 
from a nearby wishing well
which is visited by a resident
red robin searching for tasty
earth worms surrounding the
wet ground...

A placid, blue lake
extends through the dense
valley of pines and firs;
its soft sky has the color
of the calm water below,
and it gleams as the mildest breeze
makes the red poppies gently sway!

I walk along it
as ducks float serenely
and they show no fear;
how peaceful is Nature
when no...

Apt aplomb airs
Aim aids affair


Bright blessings bloom
Bear buzzing boom


Caress calm case
Clear charming craze


Dream drives display
Deed dazzling day


Endow extent
Expound each end


Feel foibles free
Form flavours fee


Glimpse giving grace
Give glamour glaze


Hide hurting haze
Heap healing haste

Placid pond, the stillest place on earth.
Don't hate the pond scum, appreciate it's worth.
If you want to be with me, then just be with me.
I am the pond scum, please hear me.
 With a belly full of fire, how easily we conspire.
Don't mean to call...

There is solace in the silent stone
There is serenity as feathers brush a quiet breeze
There is tranquility in the ambient veneer of placid water
There is composure with every free falling leaf
There is grace as birds are freed from their earthly bounds
There is contemplation in the...
