One Single Impression: Live Water
I am participating in National Poetry Month again this year. In addition to the daily haiku that I've somehow managed to keep up since last year, I am taking it up a notch this year and publish an additional poem for NaPoWriMo each day in April. I hope you will be able to come back and look at the NaPoWriMo poems.
Lakeside Meditation
By Edward S. Gault
Looking off across the lake
In the evening, I hold my own
Vespers. Sweet silence draws
Everything in. I'm aware only of the
Water's movement-ripples
Across the surface.
Time stands still, all of
Eternity is present. My spirit finds
Rest in peaceful solitude.

Family gathers,
Easter dinner in late noon
-lamb with mint sauce.

this stillness is the best kind!
This is beautiful. While I read it I walked to your lake and joined you for vespers.
Edward; all I could do while reading this is nod my head in understanding. Just beautiful and the essence of live water.
The continuance of water, of life. Very nice.
"sweet silence draws everything in"
I leave feeling refreshed.
