Reflections in the Water

In the stillness of the lake’s embrace, Where dreams are captured, shadows play, I see reflections of a hidden face, Whispers of night, in disarray.

The water shimmers, like a mirror, Reflecting tales of love and grace, With every ripple, the mind grows clearer, Nature’s breath in a gentle trace.

In solitude, my thoughts drift slow, Carried by the currents of the heart, As moonlight spills its silver glow, In this tranquil world, I find my part.

Oh, sacred water, take my fears, And hold them close in your gentle flow, For in your depths, my spirit clears, A tranquil peace, forever to know.
