Ghosts in the Lake Reach to the SoulMirrored eyes and glassy thoughtsStare from the murky waters of the lake Specters swell from beneath the surface Dripping hands and clawing nails pull the air As ghosts in the lake reach to the soul Above I watch the water ebb and flow Droplets cascade to the surface Ripples spread through time and matter To all corners of the body, back to the center The cycle repeated without change to reality Beneath the surface they watch the sky The passage of time undisturbed by thought The ghosts of the lake, the unsettled mind Longing to be above, to see what is lost To see the moon and the sun pass the horizon Stepping to the edge of the lake below Staring down into the deep abyss of the depths I kneel and run my hand across the surface The cold chill seeps up my arm and my soul As the ghosts of the lake reach into my being Mirrored eyes and glassy thoughts Stare from the murky waters of the lake Specters swell from beneath the surface Dripping hands and clawing nails pull the air As ghosts in the lake reach to the soul |
