Reflections

Click on photo to enlarge

1. Walking by a boat dock 
on a lovely summer day,
I admire the boats all docked,
and every sunlit ray.
In the peaceful CHANNEL 
ever tranquilly they sit,
reflecting in the water 
images by sunshine lit.

2. Sometimes when I pause to stop 
and view them for a while,
I admire unique displays 
of color, shape, and style.
As I’m warmed in SUNSHINE 
I begin to stroll once more.
Eventually this leads me 
to the lake’s smooth sandy shore.

3. Gazing at the rolling TIDE 
is soothing and serene.
Bright sunshine reflects 
upon the water with its gleam.
Filled with deep contentment, 
as I gaze out at the sun,
I will meditate upon this 
when the day is done.

4. Strolling back so leisurely 
relaxes all my nerves.
The lovely PATH is tranquil 
with its winding gentle curves.
Noticing the boats’ reflections 
in the water’s glow,
delight and new refreshment
in my body overflow.

5. When my walk has ended, 
and I happily depart,
I feel a rich CONTENTMENT 
very deep within my heart.
That is where I keep this image, 
to reflect upon,
until once more I stroll passed boats 
reflected in the sun!
