Big Gull Lake, Canada

I spent many wonderfilled days here, at Newton's Cottages!

BIG GULL LAKE, CANADA

 

The moon hides its face behind a morning blue blanket;

The sun peeks over the waking horizon like a bandit;

The rising mist drifts along the surface of the water;

And I stand at the gates of Heaven, as a visitor;

The summer sky is wearing a sweet smile, again;

The tiny creatures return from a sleep they've been in;

From the core of the earth a day is born

And takes its first crisp, clean breath of morn;

I feel as though I were encased in a dream,

Floating inches from earth on a newborn sunbeam;

All around, the wings of angels are lifting me

Into a masterpiece painted with shades of beauty;

I close my eyes holding in the moment;

No, I can't keep it, but will always remember it

And I know, for a short time, I was hugged by God

On a mystical, magical threshold in Canada; I wink and nod.

Reading this makes me feel like I am there, at sunrise, again; standing alone and enjoying the birth of a new day!

You transported me to the other side of the earth with just a few words. I loved the words ‘All around, the wings of angels are lifting me Into a masterpiece painted with shades of beauty’ and again ‘And I know, for a short time I was hugged by God’.
Every day should begin like this...if only! Thank you for sharing your beautiful moment.

The imagery is made soothing and relaxing. Your poem gives a feeling of going into a nature-filled vacation where the wonders of mother earth are at its best. The descriptions are elegant and smooth flowing.

Keep Writing. ^___^

Sounds like a beautiful place. Peaceful. One of those places I would love to be to get away from all the hustle and bustle.

I bet it's as beautiful as you make it sound.
One day I'd like the opportunity to explore Canada.
I've only been to Montreal and that was for one day.
Thankfully I have a place like this in my memories of
the mountains in Pennsylvania. Thank you for sharing.

This is good! I felt like I was there... Like I could see everything you saw and without ever having been there. Well done.

Nothing as beautiful as water and being with nature. Poem is outstanding. I need a day with the lakes and quiet of nature. I like the story in the words and the ending was perfect. Thank you for sharing you poetry.
