Redefining.

 

 

Redefining.

 

All life long it caught slaps

of rain on its watery back.

 

Now broadened the still lake 
with its quiet surface reigns
over illusion while redefining
reality by its unruffled smile. 
Washing troubles with depth
of compassion a pool reflects
methods which resist moody
depression and poise renews.

Water tranquility clears scum 
from former petulant currents
thus retains a welcoming calm
by placidly sinking done harm
into liquid's impeccable weight
so effects changes in negation.

       

Lake's trove of fluid treasure

helps troubled souls re-settle.

Your review does encourage and am so glad you enjoyed the read Kimmie. Hope you felt the peace of a very still lake.

I love your title .. and the first two lines are so very good.... serving almost as an introduction to the main body of today's poetic offering... to read it, without flowing full circle and back on itself to that title again is nigh impossible... I wonder whether any of those that might follow me here experiences the same thing...

made me feel like I just bin on a mini cruise so ya did..... :)

oooh - - I wanted the title to be intriguing and to bring to mind how a lake takes all the slaps and stays quietly serene - so so pleased you felt the peace of a mini-cruise on its watery back and thank you for saying so dear hombré............. x
