Beauty transcends reason
Eloquence reaps her just reward.
Take a moment to tiptoe past your worries
Recall tributes, triumphs and tenderness
Augment your vessel of contentment
Negate all negative thoughts
Quelling the armies of anxiety
Under a big bright blanket of hope
Infuse yourself with inner strength
Life’s about the journey; go now, walk in peace today.
Written in response to Sadje‘s What do You See #68 photo prompt.

The image shows a couple of water lilies growing in a pond of water.

I like that. Tranquil is definitely a good way to describe that picture.

Thanks, Sadje. It was the first though that popped into my head when I saw that lovely photo! I thought I’d make the extra effort to be punctual with my poem this morning, since I’m going to be a day late next week 😉 We’re going on our postponed anniversary trip up the West Coast (where Sea Goddess was born).

“Tranquil” isn’t part of my regular vocabulary. Your acrostic suggests that perhaps it should be. 🙂
