Favorite Quote:
"Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to the person were yesterday."

Like the glass lake on a Saturday morning,
when all lives are still,resting in their dreams.
An utter peace.
Birds speak, forming cracks in the silence, as they stream upon the precise reflection of God's painting of the sky.
The beauty rejects all negativity and erases all tribulations.
A tumultuous life one no longer has, when they encounter this stillness.
My favorite place to be.


The author's comments:
I went for a run at 7:00am one Saturday morning and I ran to the lake at a nearby park. When I got to the lake, the water was so beautiful and still-it looked like glass! It just made me appreciate the beauty of nature even more, I wanted to stay there forever. The scene inspired me to write this poem.
