Tomorrow September 22nd, in 1499, Switzerland became an independent state. To celebrate that I thought a poem based in Switzerland would be nice… Enjoy!
Lake Lucerne
Ripples appear here and there
….on otherwise placid water.
Earlier downpours have dissipated
….as the sun sinks
….brushing hues of yellow
….against deep greens
….and turning leaves.
Summer flowers offer
….their last brilliance of color
….while distant chiseled peaks
….turn gray in the dimming light.
An alpine day comes to a close.
