The Lake

Like a bottomless pit

It lied there still knit

It's whispers heard

Only in the ripples

And whenever they rose

Not a leaf shivered

Nor the wind froze

Stealthily they came

And silently they slept

In those deep recesses

Into which slowly they crept

The echo of that silence

Deafeningly resonated inside

While the mountains on the side

With awe kept admiring

The beauty of the ripples outside

In that labyrinth of the ripples

The whispers yearned for the calm

Which only the moon lit glittery night

With a smile promised to provide

From behind the mountains

When the dawn broke again

The sky lit with the bright light

But the ripples had all vanished 

Having embraced the night long gone

Finally, away from the chaos of silence

To rest in that deep slumber of peace

Only the bottomless pit remained behind

As neither the tears nor the rain

Could ever fill it again
