Temporarily

 

The morning mist is hovering

 above the lake in veils of white

The beauty it is covering

 will soon be revealed by sunlight

The newly risen sun climbs high

 and will attain full majesty

The morning mist cannot defy

the sun’s supreme authority.

The scene takes on a clarity

 the colours showing clean and bright

The quiet waters easily

 reflecting back the strong sunlight.

Mists will return to hide the view

 when twilight falls. They always do.

This is a very very beautiful poem. It creates a very tranquil yet lovely image. It reads so very well it is like music. I can actually see a picture of what you describe in your poem in my mind's eyes. Lovely. I wish I could go there. Such excellent description and put together like music. Love love it!
