A Lake

Photo taken at Tiger Pond, Guyana

Soothing rays tranquilled my being

Sunny rays speared my crust

A mirage of rays echoed from the lake

Lake, a face of God’s grandeur.

A layer smooth and shiny

Bits of diamonds shining on to me

Diamonds moving as a gentle touch of breeze

Waves cast the diamonds onto shore.

Fishes floating along the shiny layer

A perfect home like a woman's womb

Myriad moves of fishes reflecting God’s greatness

Greatness that knows no bounds.

Karokaro, kiskadi, parrots, ducks, swans

Birds small and big gyrated round the lake

Sang delightful songs like mother singing for her child

A sure sign that God loves them.

All around lake crafted a theatre

Stage that bosomed creature small and great

Theatre of showing Gods enormous love

A love knows no bounds girdled my being.

Note: Poem inspired at a lake in São Leopoldo, Brazil.
