Sit and watch over
The silenced, still moonlit lake
waiting to be saved

Among all my life’s accomplishments, my most significant triumph is simply being here, continuing to fight, and holding onto hope.
I exist in both fear and joy, and within this duality lies an immeasurable strength.
I look up at the stars that carry my memories, and I firmly believe, endlessly, that I can still discover my path back home.
I gaze into the water, watching the silent and gentle ripples dance around me, and I realize that my spirit is still in the process of healing, still enveloping me, my faith, intricately weaving patterns in my thoughts, flowing and revitalizing my very essence.
This is the exact place where God guided me to listen to his voice, to find peace in his presence, and to be reassured that he is alive and breathing for me, infusing life into me, allowing my being to mend.

Muddy Run Lake
A mirror of sky nature's allure and little
Birds soar above on wings of grace and
Little children play In this lovely place
And while fish beneath in secret glide
In this tranquil world they dart and hide

And boats glide softly and trees blow gently
And the colourful butterflies flutter in the moring sunlight and it's a beautiful sight
And Muddy Run Lake a canvas so beautiful And so wide.

They say go with the flow-
but I'm just a stagnant water.
Not a beauty, nor a worth-
all the fishes have left the water.
