A crystal clear lake,
The sun in the sky dazzle,
Two trees are coming together
They have a tale to tell.
The white cloud in blue canvas
Is flashed with colorful light,
Looking at the beauty
Long time has passed,
The pleasure of it is ever fresh
As if I am still young.
When I have crossed half a century
I hardly could realize,
My body might have got older
But I am in search of the truth
As eager as was earlier.
The picture is becoming clearer
My view to the world has broadened.
Now I know me not as a body alone,
I have a long history, a heart and the Soul.
The sublime lake reflects my Self well.

I like that "they have a tale to tell." True. I wonder, often, how much different things trees have seen.

Love it. Filled with beautiful imagery. This is very reflective; I can relate to the fact that as you approach a half century on this earth that you realize the spirit and soul are part of the self along with the physical body. Well done and best of luck in the contest.
