Among Clouds

                                                   Mountain Lake

Hidden high in rarefied air, glacial lakes capture with stillness and patience
the highest, fastest clouds and flaming sun by day;
by night the moon in perfect symmetry surrounded by attendant stars is easy prey
for the quiet of the lake.

The smallest in strategic orientation captures and overcomes the largest most powerful force with minimal effort.

Stealth overcomes bravado and quiet overcomes the din of inept conquerors.

The invader is defeated.

High mountain glacial lakes remain calm, unperturbed, while lowland waters agitate.
