"Serenity Dawns"

 

"Serenity Dawns"

Greg Budig 2021

The morning sun 

lurked just below 

the distant shoreline. 

Softly the glow spreads

behind the maples and 

pines, it moves smoothly 

across the horizon. 

The water was so still,

glass like and perfect.

Reflections were tranquil 

and rare. Only broken by 

the ripple of surfacing 

bluegills. Feasting on 

mayflies and nymphs. 

 

To breathe in the air 

was to absorb the very 

atmosphere. Scented by 

water, lily pads and reeds.  

It's richness invaded all 

parts of your senses.

It soothed the ailing mind. 

Serenity dawns on 

all those who listen. 

Who seek out the peace 

to be found near the shore. 

If you wait long enough 

you might find the answer. 

Or forget all the questions 

you once had before.
