Rings of water flow outwardly larger,
rippling peacefully -
in a lake whose only wish
on a list
is to be more free;
to gather momentum,
carrying life invisible from above,
that live therein and dream
of swimming upstream,
grasping for more time -
desiring to swim a mighty river
where gutsier fish are plucked,
a body of water who
gives herself to the sea
Emptying herself into the ocean
would be a more purposeful
type of routine -
truly honorable, more designing,
elegant and supreme
But by in large, a body as a lake
would be most serene

It is much easier to appreciate nature in all it's forms if you personalize it as you have done here. I love writing about the emotions of trees and seas, and I think they are pleased that I do too!
ReplyDeleteall rivers roll eventually to the ocean....

I like your personification of the lake. Sometimes it's good to be the little guy though, less stress!
