A Sunkissed Lake©
13/10/2016

Looking out from frosted panes
One awakens to the gentled breeze
that sends ripples upon the lake
widening, enlarging within your gaze
mesmorising for those who care to look
A door slides open with a sound
a dampened touch against ones silken skin
a hare stops, sits and stares
and takes flight amongst the sanctuary of the trees
Trees rustle at the touch
of breath upon the laden air
A couple sit in the armchair on the deck
a steaming brew within ones touch
the steam rises within their sight
as they gaze together at the view
A distant stare as memories come to bare
of children all grown with truth to be told
Autumn leaves of reds and golds
begin their fall upon the hardened winter soil
Standing up, walking down to the waters edge
an upturned canoe nestles within the nook
water laps at the edge
Walking hand in hand
gentle laughter can be heard
as the autumn leaves are scrunched underfoot
Looking out … through the trees
a hazy view of islands shimmers into view
seagulls land, screaching as they take flight upon the air
A powerful stare has comes to bare
as one breaths the air on high
A bird begins its song for the day
And then the peaceful silence
is brought to bay
The sun began its dance
as it lays its head behind the lake
sending streaks across the skies aloft
leaving a smile upon their lips
We welcome this wonderous sight
The vision
of the sunkissed lake
