Blue Lake Happiness

There's nothing like a break from the ordinary to make us glad of it!

Two weeks ago we enjoyed our annual break at a little cottage on a little lake...

Where fish/minnows frolic...

Past Uncle's hook  (into Grandson's net)😅

And no. Uncle did not use 'fishy' as bait 😂

After the shrieks of delight this little

shimmer of a fish incited,

I can't wait till he catches a big one!

and sunbeams dance...

 

and feathered friends drift by...

a lake-lull is such a refreshing way to recharge

and ready me to return with fresh gladness 

to the beck and call of  Always Much To Do

(this week's much-to-do is focused on

prepping for a family-reunion we are hosting on Sunday)

The blue lull of the lake bestows a gentle bliss

As wishful thinking takes a break where nothing seems amiss

While in worlds far away the horn of progress blares

Where warriors of workaday shoulder life’s load of cares

The blue lull of the lake makes broken poets whole

As soothing, wordless lyrics break on shorelines of the soul

Its fluid countenance enchants the creature sigh

Where fish frolic and sunbeams dance and feathered friends drift by

The blue lull of the lake is pleasant company

No fear of making a mistake with blue-lake repartee

Content to smile and nod; no critic to requite

Leaning against the knee of God in undisturbed delight 

The blue lull of the lake awakens purest joys 

Unhindered by the give and take of commerce-driven noise 

Far from the madding press of  hello and so long 

The lull of blue-lake happiness writes worship's purest song

I LOVE noting the shifting hues and textures of the water

reflecting the heavens and the time of day
