A photo I took of the sun setting over a lake in Ireland prompted me to write this, if you would like a copy, please email me.


Fire and Water

It’s just not possible
But it looks like it to me
Fire on water?
Not true - Can’t be

Who has the power?
Creating such tricks of light
If you have any doubt
Wait till night

The fire is not burning
The waters calm
So still

The gift of sight is not over
Go see if I am right
Cast your eyes skyward
On the darkest, darkest night

Appreciate all you see
It’s too hard to describe
For a mortal such as me
So much beauty abounds
You‘re alive. Make the most

But most of all
See.

Peter~
You've written of my favorite scene ...
the touching of the evening sun ... across the lake.

You might enjoy this one I did on this very subject.
