Nova Scotia, Quiet, Gentle Beauty

Lake smoke fog so pure and white sits like a cloud upon the lake

Reds and yellows of fall’s last leafs, from nature’s palette running wild

Nova Scotia’s quiet, gentle beauty known to soothe the weary mind

Erasing all that’s wrong in life with a peacefulness feeling soft and mild

Majestic oaks and maple trees and towering pines of green

Form a canopy over the road that winds inland from the sea

There’s not a ripple on the Lake William, it’s like a glass surfaced skating rink

 A marsh loon calls her mate come back, come back...to me

Waverly Road winding gracefully following some old stage coach route

Roller coaster ride dipping up and down there’s always a surprise

A squirrel, raccoon or perhaps a speckled fawn following her mother’s path

God’s special place to forget the woes of this world and find beauty for the eyes

Through the icing of an early morning frost highlighting all with white

I felt again the Nova Scotia magic image that lingers long in one’s heart

One you want to share with everyone but also want to keep it to yourself

Because you know that you will miss it dearly when it’s time for you to part.
