A Lake to Remember

I came upon a pondered lake,

It took my breath away, 

I’m not a nature poet as such, 

But this one had me sway.

A still from a picture painting, 

Not a breeze to move a leaf, 

Yet gentle swirls did make the lake, 

Not disturbing it’s peace. 

I saw it mimic the trees and clouds, 

With every stroke and hue, 

The mountains holding hands they did, 

Beyond horizon’s view. 

Lost in its rippling charm, 

Living there I could, 

Gazing at it night and day, 

it sure would do me good. 

Alas my troubles brought me back, 

To the reality I own, 

Captured the moment to see in time, 

When needed a moment alone.

Circle of Friends

Every so now and then, 

Life takes us for a spin, 
To catch our breath we need some space, 
To keep us sane we need a place, 
Free from worry, come what may, 
A place to forget the troubles of the day. 
So comforting, so safe, we can freely share our fears
There is no judgement, we can easily let go our tears. 
Every time we meet, it’s like a Refresh button
All our worries are momentarily forgotten. 
I want to share my gratitude with each of you, 
For making me a part of your lives too. 
I thank thee God for my circle of friends, 
Whom I, will cherish till the very end.
