Morning on Lake Rhapsody
Quiet beauty surrounds one
Gentle sounds still everywhere
Soothing eyes and ears
Soft golden light rising
Tall timber ridge aglow
Silken voice of loon
Telling tales of yesterday
Water's surface so calm
Becoming nature's perfect mirror
Upside down yet lovely
Reflecting magnificence without ego
To be so lucky
Floating on her body
Ripples of gentle love
Tapping sweetly on canoe
A vision glimmering forever
Held eternally in mind
Precious high country j**el
Never losing her sparkle
Lady of the mountains
Friend to every creature
There when many leave
There when they return
Rivers....her outstretched arms
Waiting to embrace you
Babbling brooks....her fingers
Waiting to caress you
Haunting mist dances wistfully
From Rhapsody's cooling breast
Animals singing her praise
Liquid life given silently
