I am mesmerized by its clear blue-green waters
as they serenely ripple through the colorful Autumn
countryside under a deep azure sky traced by the
joyous puffy white clouds of the warm afternoon.
A deep desire to find the sweet solace of love's
wonderful serenity compels me to slowly follow the
rich burnt umber path beside the rolling waters
until I feel its cool refreshing touch upon my heart,
and taste the golden fruits of its glorious fantasies
and am warmed by the caress of its sensual fingers
of comforting joy.
