LOVING EMBRACE OF RUSH LAKE

In the clearing of the sky
I spotted the reflection
into the stillness of the lake
all from what was up on high

Such tranquility spoke true
as I stood there observing all
the surroundings of Rush Lake
the imprint it left in my view

Slight breezes caressed by
under the warmth of the sun
releasing worries and stress
with each breath I gave a sigh

Birds chattering; mallards talk
sweet sounds echoing through
up and down the watery way
no room for grumbling or balk

Problems seem few when there
embraced by love of the land
beauty thrives in each season
holding me in its arms with care
