Searching the lake
the water a one-way mirror
a reflection of life
this day without error
The outward beauty
that which extends within
fall turns to winter
the trees are beginning to thin
The reflection
of things deep inside
tales of struggle and survival
no place to hide
Glancing around
feeling the pull of my soul
remnants of my life
face appearing old
Time has a way
of getting away from me
things to do
my soul feels free
The cool wind
lifts me in the air
soaring to new heights
life with a flair
My wings are spread
flying in the wind
a one-way ticket to joy
the beautiful journey will never end
