My favorite spot is Grand Traverse Bay
Holds true on any given day
Old Mission Peninsula splits east and west
Reaching out towards the lake never to rest

In the summer the view is breathtaking
There will be no mistaking
On the water the sun gleams
Illuminating the beauty with it's beams

Waves gently caressing the sand
In awe of nature's symphony I stand
Inhaling the pure fresh air
A hint of pine lingers in there

Ducks swim and play on the beach
Well within my hand's reach
Looking out I see lush green trees
Almost as far as my eye sees

I am moved by the grandeur of this sight
Takes my soul to a new height
Sitting here my heart is at peace
God has granted me sweet release

Lone Wolf, wonderful work hon.  I was at the lake with you, watching the ducks swim and frolick.  Marveling at the views.  great imagery hon.
We all have a special place that is precious to us, and it is a gift from heaven itself to be there and enjoy.  Glad you have one that moves you so!!  

 I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

Isis, thank you very much.  It was a pleasure to write really.  That has to be my absolute favorite place to be.  Happy to be able to share its beauty with others.  
You are right, we all have such a place and life is good whenever we are able to go there.  Just wish mine was closer!!

LoneWolf~
Sounds like a lovely place to be.
Tranquility of the soul is such
a nice place to be ...
if you can't go there on a train ...
go on a train of thought.
