Contrast

A scene serene in my memory I store
Of gazing down on Annaghearly lake shore
The scene below mirrored the sky
In a painting of beauty no money could buy
The water below so calm and so blue
With diamonds glistening and changing hue
As snowy white swans with their brood of two
Disturbed its ripples when gliding through
Hawthorn blossoms perfumed the air
On that sunny day in the month of May
With Corona virus not a world away
