Lake song

Serene waters
zephyr on the face
cloudy wisps
Lush green everywhere

Tangible
the unmoving waters
Overwhelming
the everchanging waves

Avean majesty
ruling the blue,
with a sudden fall
evades the morning gloom

Unrestrained
with a watchful sight
clawing water -
Master of flight

Flying dragons
in blades of green
Rising beaks
in the waters serene

Natural beauty
out of exile
Splendor
Lost in grey
