water

timeless

the velvety

calm water plane

gently absorbs

opaque streams

of light

---

reassuring

tranquility

wraps up

my troubled

turbulent mind

the lake

quiescently

glows from within

radiating

placidness

---

I can’t see

what’s beneath

the inscrutable

surface

no one can

the rushing water

calls for me

a siren song

out of

the nadir

---

I can’t resist

the beckoning

enticing sound

soaking in

my flared body

smoothly

the waves

ebb and flow

a consistent rhythm

calm and serene

---

carefully

I approach

the lake shore

starving for

lush fluidity

drips of

plain water

daintily

run

through my fingers

---

an intangible

touch

I can’t keep

transient

timeless

---

I let the water

swallow me

whole

thoroughly

floating
