The Reflecting Pond

Staring at the waves
Pictures forming in my mind
Of bodies below the surface
Slowly breathing in the brine

Lungs lose desire for air
For they forget the taste
Of dancing in the daylight
Of inhaling in your grace

Sleeping softly in these blankets
Holding me snugly to the floor
Of water pressure darling
Let me lay here evermore

My blood deeply longs for freedom
Cut my arms and set it free
Leaving streamers in the water
The last life that’s left in me

you stand staring from the surface
straining to see through the waves
at the girl who once could see you
for now and evermore, she lays
