Sunrise
on the Lake of Visions
As Kala
rises from restful slumber,
A new
day dawns over wooded Enchantica;
The Lake
of Visions waits patiently for morning's warm rays
Catching
her soft windswept shores
Lighting
the liquid serenity with the glow of heavens
Breathing
life into the sea of angels
Beneath
the surface lies a sweet riped fruit unseen *
Flesh
of immortal spirit, seeded with grains of wisdom.
Reflections
shimmer the knowledge of ages past
When dragons
soared the sky and man knew nothing of God;
A pleasant
peace prevails, presence of divinity pulses purely
Silence
radiates its quiet hush, for those around afraid to sound.
The city
ashore yet to wake, for Nala holds them well.
Her beauty
cascades across the lands
Like a
perfect painted picture
But one
no artist could ever capture on canvas
The scene
lasts only a moment,
While
the sun lies low on the horizon.
Lured
by Kala up into the blue
Shining
brightly to wake the land, defeating her sister yet again
And the
Lake of Visions wakes up too.
The waning
crescendo of morning fades into day;
A short
lived morning glory**
Flower
destined to bloom again for eternity.
