Abandoned by Light - Ghosts in the Lake Reach to the Soul

Ghosts in the Lake Reach to the Soul



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

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
