An Intropection - 1. O' My Lake

There are times when everyone has advise for you. So much back ground noise that you want to shout. I found a way to tune out all the static and work my way through my problems and life challenges.

O' My Lake

 

O' my lake that brings my reflections,
You are so true and faithful to my direction.
For without your enlightenment, I would shudder,
Being like a ship without a rudder.

Majestically you lie for all to ponder
The unlearned and foolish are left to wonder
But the wise are washed in your grace,
Which gives strength and wisdom in all we face.

Balancing on the brink of hope and despair,
Scanning to and fro for which would be more fair.
I ponder the thought, can one exist without the other?
You shout out from your depths, why bother?

Your restful shores bring peace to my soul.
And the colors of your face cure all my woes.
To hear your lapping waves is music to my ears.
O' my lake, you say very little, yet there's much to hear.

There's nothing life can throw at us that we can't over come or find a way around it, it will get better. Nothing last forever, including the bad times, it will get better. Reach out to someone, talk to someone, share your feelings, it will get better. Never ever give up, it will get better. There are organizations that are there to help us through the bad times, it will get better. The Trevor Project is just one of those, reach out to them, support their work, it will get better.

Is the truth in the reflection of the surface or in the serenity of the depths...

The ripples will take anything disturbing the peaceful grace of the lake to the shores. The little scratches are unimportant...

Hehe, it caught my interest, because it made me remember something similar. :)

It's always my hope that anything I do brings a happy memory or becomes an inspiration to the light within us all. Thank you for your review and your insight. :)
