Standing on Lake Ascoti

( Lake Ascoti is one of the lakes among a cluster of seven lakes, located in New York state of USA. Celebrated for their scenic pulchritude and pristine serenity amidst a multi-dimensional gift of generous beauty, Lake Ascoti is the smallest but perhaps the most bewitching.)

There spreads a sheet of glistening 
Limpid cool waters
Or, is it a mirror
Reflecting the fluffy while clouds
Floating gently in the azure sky above!

The bright, multi-hued tall maple trees
Enchanted and mesmerized
Seeing their own image
Break into
A gentle sway of dance1

And they merge and mingle
Over the sun-dappled surface
They linger to embrace
But for a moment
Before let go!

A serenity unsurpassed
A solitude, sublime, calm
Tranquility 
That surrounds
In measures unbound!

A feast to the eyes
A mannah for the soul
A salve of beauty most divine
Comforting, healing
A frazzled mind!
