Beauty and Death

The deep reflection of a blue-green lake
captures soft images from a gentle rain,
As from profound illusions I awake

Ripples touch the shore for a cool wind's sake
Tapping rhythm fingers against my brain,
the deep reflection of a blue-green lake

Fish dash and sparkle in currents they make
I consider reasons for their campaign
as from profound illusions I awake

Eagles fall down for a bounty to take
beneath the surface and above again,
the deep reflection of a blue-green lake

I now understand there is no mistake,
that serenity should have its pain,
as from profound illusions I awake

Many hours I watch, many hours I ache,
and from this beauty and death I retain
the deep reflection of a blue-green lake,
as from profound illusions I awake
