lake speaks
I knew I was a mirror
when I stretched myself
wide and shining
shore to shore
but who knew
that the sky
would lean down
to its reflection
and fall
who knew
that these two
limitless forests of blue
were one
with no horizon
who knew
I was
the color
of the sky
when I stretched myself
wide and shining
shore to shore
but who knew
that the sky
would lean down
to its reflection
and fall
who knew
that these two
limitless forests of blue
were one
with no horizon
who knew
I was
the color
of the sky

Gosh glad I found you again Firebird...your poems are always thought-provoking, inspiring and unique.
