The Lake
Shining, glimmering, the waters, A promise, tingling heady laughter, Hands in the mud, smoke in her hair, Will they meet again? Can't breathe, everything's a blur The world is a dream, and we the dreamers, You and I, the eternal lovers, Forever in this fire, cold nights Wrapped in our cocoon, Moments turn into days, skin and mouths, Can't breathe, everything's a blur It can't be, how can it? You died, no you didn't You can't change, this is us The waters dark, like ink Swallow us whole, into The mouth of a whirling fire Can't breathe, everything's a blur The sky is blue, the air crisp, Pitter patter of little feet, Chirping of babies and birds Born in a new world, Look at this lake, it's still the same, So serene and fresh, like the Anticipated flavours of a new book, Breathe it in, everything's so clear.
