Serenity

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Nov 04, 2016 

The waters 
have calmed.
The kayak 
slips by 
while 
the warm 
breeze blows light.
The loon 
eerily sounds 
it is near.
Sun drenched 
clouds ooze 
vanilla cream.
The sunset 
throws an orange
purple light
 over it all.
The fish 
jump splash 
finishes the scene.
The veil’s 
been drawn down.
Serenity surrounds.
