High in the mountains stands a
beautiful lake untouched by the
outside world
Calm and clear are her waters
looking like a mirror
As the clouds float over head they
cast their reflection on her surface
A short distance from the lake is a
mountain his grandeur a wonder to behold
He stands like a sentinel towering over
the land that lay around him
He casts his reflection as a symbol to
natures inhabitants that he is there to
protect and nourish them
His icy streams feed the lake as the
snow melts each spring and flow into her
The creatures that live nearby come each
day to quench their thirst and feed on
the lush grasses along her banks
Ever vigillant for their adversaries,
they are ready in a moments notice to
flee
Oh what a picture this lake makes
as she reflects all that surround her.

a beautiful write. I love the mountains and have looked out in awe upon them and the treasures they hold on almost a daily basis. You've created beautiful images here. Well done.
