The Lake

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

Muddy banks in the lake once hid view
Nowadays the waters wake in mirror-blue
A blush of lily petals; pink, wild and bright
Now bathes within the golden day light. ​

No longer choked by only mud and weed
The lilies breathe here from shadows freed
Far beyond, no more the mist-veiled crests
Now, there a lush green vegetation rests.
