As the summer heat continues, a well earned break just sitting by the lake, , is available every day for you to enjoy, and maybe put pen to paper if you are so inclined, or capture a quiet moment of reflection with your phone.
Here is one such moment from Tuesday afternoon, enjoy...
Summer reflections
A silent sky of glass below,
Reflects the summer mood and flow.
The world is split, yet sealed as one,
Beneath the ever-warming sun.
A single feather, drifted loose,
Devoid of weight, devoid of use,
Descends upon the mirror’s face,
And settles in a perfect space.
It does not pierce, it does not sink,
It floats upon on the tension’s brink.
Between the shadow and the sky,
It asks no truth, it breathes no why.
The pond is still, the waters deep,
Hiding memories we wish to keep.
Upon the surface, clouds so white,
Reflecting trees, so green and bright.
For in this calm, the truth is clear,
The upper world is mirrored here.
We float upon a truth untold,
Too frail for deeps, too light to hold.
The water waits without a sound,
To drown the sky, if sky be found.
But for an hour, the balance stays,
A breath of wind, a lifetime’s phase.
