LAKE AT NIGHT

Dark skies, dark waters,
Moon beam glistening off in the distant.

Twinkling stars sparkling off the water's surface,
Picturesque aged trees,
Limbs draping just above the lake top.

Crickets playing their music,
Birds singing high in the tree tops.
Tiny ripples across the water,
From the casual breezes that cools the air.

Laughter breaks through nature sounds,
The sounds of lovers enjoying one another.

Larger ripples move away from them,
The paddle along the peaceful shore.
Darkness overcomes the moon lit night,
As the passing clouds cover its glow.

A peaceful existence you feel,
In a surrounding of natures own.
Overwhelmed by the comfort,
You absorb this precious haven.

A place for lovers,
Or a time for solitude,
Maybe a place to become one
with the universe.
