We trudged through steep snow as it melted, And you caused avalanches with every step, You teared apart entire forests, While I was too busy walking to notice... The water is smooth opaque turquoise, Just like in the pictures you showed me, As we stand on a rock at the water's edge, You take my hand and ask me to jump; Then wind rages through the valley of us, And the ripples of clear remind me: Smooth are waters with no depth- Bellow is only a shiny surface, Where nothing breathes.

On a Rock Over an Alpine Lake in June
We trudged through steep snow as it melted, And you caused avalanches with every step, You teared apart entire forests, While I was too busy walking to notice... The water is smooth opaque turquoise, Just like in the pictures you showed me, As we stand on a rock at the water's edge, You take my hand and ask me to jump; Then wind rages through the valley of us, And the ripples of clear remind me: Smooth are waters with no depth- Bellow is only a shiny surface, Where nothing breathes.
I've walked through puddles deeper than you
