Peace fills the face, sweet peace
Oars stored now to the side
Not to disturb the glass plane
Swallows skim just off the surface
With their graceful showy flight
Acrobats with blurred wings
As they perform their feeding show
Oaks and maples all ablaze
With their firework of a fall show
A single leaf like thunder falls
A lone break in the silent deep
Mist rising off the liquid rest
Gentle curls in the fingers of air
An eerie embrace of water and sky
Entwining spirits of the forces of life
Wood and plant glazed with a coat
Of the tears wept by the Earth
A coating of dew gleams as jewels
Gone in instants a fleeting gift
Sun joining with a burning light
Sky the red of blood from battle
Long battle that raged the war
The final victory being tale spun
Time stands still for just one beat
Pausing so brief to freeze sweet repose
Before the moment is spent, life resumes
Only known to the one lone soul
G- December 2008
