Morning on Lake Rhapsody
Quiet beauty surrounds one
Gentle sounds still everywhere
Soothing eyes and ears

Soft golden light rising
Tall timber ridge aglow
Silken voice of loon
Telling tales of yesterday

Water's surface so calm
Becoming nature's perfect mirror
Upside down yet lovely
Reflecting magnificence without ego

To be so lucky
Floating on her body
Ripples of gentle love
Tapping sweetly on canoe

A vision glimmering forever
Held eternally in mind
Precious high country jewel
Never losing her sparkle

Lady of the mountains
Friend to every creature
There when many leave
There when they return

Rivers....her outstretched arms
Waiting to embrace you
Babbling brooks....her fingers
Waiting to caress you

Haunting mist dances wistfully
From Rhapsody's cooling breast
Animals singing her praise
Liquid life given silently

*sigh* I am speechless, Sir Robert. Absolutely stunning. I could see it clearly. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
