Harmony’s Image

A few simple dewdrops reflect the Sun’s golden rays.

            Quietly they lie upon lush, green flora.

A gentle breeze brushes the small dewdrops.

            A soft veil of mist cloaks the velvet valley floor.

The serene melody of a bird’s love song

            Drifts through the peaceful atmosphere.

A young fawn

            Stands at the edge of a small lake, drinking.

The miniature pool

            Shimmers from the sun’s radiant glow.

A sudden rustling is heard,

            As something scurries through the dense brush.

Immediately following the susurration,

            Silence reclaims the valley.

Slowly, a pure white tiger

            Emerges from the dense thicket.

The beauteous feline

            Stealthily nears the lake’s edge to drink.

There he takes his rest.

            Silently he kneels, sipping the crystal fluid.

The young fawn just stands,

            Not making the slightest movement.

There they stand...  enemies by Nature’s Law.

            Neither make a move, just stare at one another.

A veil of peace befalls the unusual companions.

            Together by the lake...

They are the perfect image of absolute harmony.
