The water is still and tranquil <br />making you feel free and at peace. <br />There is a hint of a wave from a minnow, <br />yet the quiet is almost deafening. <br />To the naked ear and eye, <br />the scene is inviting and pleasant, <br />you might even want to jump in and explore <br />the cool blue pool in a clothesless suit. <br />Wade in, let the ripples your body creates surround you. <br />Don't forget this piece of heaven on earth <br />that entices you can be dangerous. <br />Thus, while the beauty draws you into it's depth, <br />know that even though its calm now~ <br />if you underestimate its power...it can drown you. <br /> <br />Written on february 12th 2008<br /><br />Shelley L Baxter Stanley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/1-beautiful-maybe/
