Serenity

Serenity is  found

in the still-running waters

of  June Lake,

gentle ripples

lazily lapping the shore.

~

As I sit

all alone

early morning sun 

warming my back,

You bring a gift

to the water’s edge.

~

I know

You are here.

Your grace knows no bounds.

    • It was a very spiritual moment for me Marsha, sitting there all by myself. As I turned to leave, the three deer just arrived at the water’s edge. So very peaceful and beautiful. :)

  4. Beautiful poem and picture LuAnn

  5. We are certainly enjoying your poetry, LuAnn. It is really heartfelt, in my judgment. Just wondering when you two will be returning to camp hosting at San Elijo?

    • Thanks Roger and Gayl. We are coming back on November 1. Will you be around then or at least in the area? We would love to see the two of you again.

  6. I know June Lake very well. Raise my kids in Bishop, CA. For 15+ years we visited the lakes and streams of the Sierras often. We loved the high Sierras eastern slopes. Cool, calming, beautiful.

  7. We will make sure to be around and we will drive down to Cardiff one day to see you guys. Later, Roger

  8. I agree with Boomie, So calmly beautiful, both your words and the photographs, LuAnn! :)
