just a touch of zen


Crystal clear, invisible waters
reflect tall, green pines,
heavenly skies, and all we see.
The empty boat rests,
the bow on the shore,
the stern in the lake,
ready to go to the other shore where
crystal clear, invisible waters
reflect tall, green pines,
heavenly skies, and all we see.
