I AM THE LAKE
I am the lake,
I am the murky depths,
I am the shimmering sunlit surface.
I am still,
and moving
at once.
I can be warm,
and cold
In the same instance.
I can support life
Or I can drown it.
I am an oasis,
and an inhospitable place.
I am home,
Or a strange land.
I can be empty or full,
But I remain a lake
I am shallow and deep,
All at once. |
|
I am welcoming,
and formidable together.
I am sweet relief,
Or avoided foe.
I am,
At my deepest place,
Silent
Weightless and Free.
I carve through earth.
I make my own way,
With no one to guide me
Yet I know my path.
I am forever changing,
Yet constant and the same time.
The outside forces,
They touch my surface,
And change my shape
But in my depths
I remain
Still, Silent, Dark and Free.
