LAKE SHADOWS

LAKE SHADOWS

First stars of the evening
Reflected in a lake so crystal clear;
For a moment I feel peace
As if God, Himself, were here.

Shadows on the waters
As clouds pass overhead,
Evening stars now hidden;
Darkness covers all instead.

Lake shadows cast a spell
That will almost make you feel
As if you're alone in the universe;
For the moment, it is real.

With the dawning of a new day,
The lake once more will shine
With a million little crystal stars
And peace again is mine.
