::: Lady in the Water :::

I went to the beach
crystal blue, clear water
I put my
hand in this fountain that goes
beyond cities, towns, countries
waves that cross
undeniable dimensions and I
saw a figure
a pretty face, with hands stretched out
she was at peace
like a free white bird that flies
in the sky
minding its own business like the
older ladies reading in the park...
she was given a name
The Lady in the Water

I wondered where she came from,
why she decided to come to this beach
where children
energetic, splash all day
and couples in love
glide across the sand, so lost
in a moment
they don’t stop to ask
HER name...
the Lady in the Water

I tried to shake hands
with this stranger a
being who just floated on
a blue blanket of
Tranquility
but when I did
she just floated away
maybe I was bothering her
didn’t mean too
guess the old ladies in the park
would shake their heads,
say leave that girl alone...
but like a dream so surreal and
hard to comprehend
I couldn’t
I had to meet
The Lady in the Water
and I did
and kept on gliding
and looking out at the
beautiful electric blue sea
