    Ingrid,

    A wonderful image you have created. I can see the scene clearly. . The sun slowly melts its deep orange blaze into the calm, soothing waters. The majesty and perfection of nature enters the picture, its shimmering power commands respect. Beat, beat, beat..the rhythmic beat of its huge feathered wings softly regulates the quiet, creating order in a world of random anomalies. Gliding in closer now to the water's surface, the water becomes like a mirror, reflecting both subtle and vivid hues of purple plumage, which merge seamlessly with the blazing deep orange/red of sun in a whispered current.

    In hues of plum wine,
    sunset soothes a serene lake.
    Lonely eagle soars.

    Ingrid, I hope you don't mind, but I thought you might like this suggestion?

    ((hugs)) xx

    A vivid description of peace and tranquility.
    This takes me back to the times I would go down to the Scarborough Bluffs and watch the sunset.There's no eagle soaring over lake Ontario, but watching the Gulls swayed and dive over the calm and serene lake is a beautiful thing to experience.
    I've enjoyed reading this beautiful piece.
