Still Night Above the Sleeping Lake
Still Night Above the Sleeping Lake
Still night above the sleeping lake,
The sounds of life are silenced as am I.
Soft upon the welcoming grass I lie
Watching the indifferent stars drift by.
In this microcosm of the evolving world
All seems at peace, a meditative mood
Descends like balm upon the troubled earth.
One feels that evil shall sum up to good
Humanity find a modicum of peace,
Divided nations unity restore,
The hatreds that for centuries inflamed
The heart shall wither away and be no more.
Yet change is such a monumental task,
Apparent only if we look within
And know this false persona but a mask,
Allow the thickened ego-self to thin,
Become the enlightened souls we were meant to be,
To find ourselves and from the past break free.
