Quiet Contemplation

On the shore of Crummock Water Cumbria

                                                   Quiet Contemplation

Early in the morning

On the shore of the lake she sat

In quiet contemplation

Looking up the lake

Into the mist

Where the sun should be rising

 

What was she thinking

Something from the past

Friends almost forgotten

Perhaps to the future

What is to be

 

Who will know

What she is thinking
Definitely
Not me

Sweet contemplation. This piece was a pensive one. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful silence captured here. There is a certain level of peace attained from staring at the waters. The ripples alone are inspirational enough for the eyes to linger. The speaker in this piece seems to reach peace from watching her watch those reflective waters. She seems to get lost and the track of time is derailed while she's watching. It's apparent that the lake is very meaningful for her and just as important to the speaker. I love the picture, it definitely aids the imagination. Great read.

Thank you so much
Actually it was staged - BUT you describe exactly what I had in mind when I told het to sit on the old tree trunk
Most of the pictures from our home area (Lake District National Park) are peaceful and romantic

Your posted image is a very good match for your words. It will remain a mystery what she was thinking, but it certainly makes fine poetry. I enjoyed reading it.

I like the flow and the peaceful feeling that seems to be in it
For the title, did you mean Quiet Contemplation?
