Tranquil Waters
In tranquil lake, serene and still,
Unruffled by anger's chill.
Storms may rage with furious might,
Yet each time they take flight,
I recall with somber thought,
Half a century soon is wrought.
But no, it's not just anger's sway,
It's a tempest, come what may.
Sweeping debris of days long past,
From the path that shadows cast.
About this poem
As I gaze upon the serene lake, undisturbed by anger's storms, I'm reminded of the passage of time, almost reaching half a century. Yet, I realize it's not merely anger that stirs within, but a tempest, sweeping away the debris of the past, leaving a path cleared by shadows.
