You are of the lake
as calm, tranquil and serene
and warm as the sun;
a reflection of your soul.
And I am of the waves
deep and untameable,
full of shipwrecks,
lost mysteries and magnificent pearls.
You are of the lake;
quite maidenly, almost fathomless
–constantly glimmering in the evening.
Calm, tranquil and serene
as peaceful as your soul was.
And I am of the waves;
stormy, full of tides &unknown creatures
yet still fathomless and dreamy
tirelessly dealing with its tides and waves
along with its lost mysteries & magnificent pearls
You are of the forest and grass,
of its cold mountains in the north.
And I am of shoreline and coasts,
of its sand & unique shells
Yet we are not of each other
for my tide may drown your peaceful soul,
my wave’s current might shake
your sound of mind
nor could my depth be your everlasting rest.
You are of the lake
And I am of the waves,
both beautiful and ethereal bodies of water
that can’t be seen together
but instead shall stay as nature’s
enchanting fusion of wonder that cannot be.
