That rippling sound, easy on the ear
How I gloried in it, not a tear I shed.
The lake mirrored your reflection
Silence, the sound of your nearness.
Reeds swayed in the gentle breath breath
of the following zephyr
touched my soul, its beauty.
Needing comfort the lake is my first port of call.
Never feeling alone.
