For a Moment, the Waters Stood Still

By the Cortlandt lake I sitAnd gaze upon the lily pondThey glisten like a diamond pitAnd make me feel a magic bondI wonder at the simple giftsThat nature shares with me each dayThe water’s a mirror that upliftsAnd whispers a gentle serenadeI thank the universe for thisFor letting me be here and nowI breathe the air, I taste the blissAnd find some meaning in my vow
