Take me to the swan-graced waters...
Where dragonflies would visit,
and skim the surface on tireless wings.
I’d sit with the grounds’ keepers
- the cicadas.
Invisible guardians,
whose shrill song and calls
would only echo through the sparse foliage
and trees - entrancing me into a state of
accompanied aloneness.
A calming solitude,
that enables the eyes
to lapse into a deep,
unjudging gaze into the lake.
And as time slows to a halt,
each breath would lengthen...
The sun would dip into the distant edge
of the lake.
And my heart would skip
as it interprets the dance of the sun
on the water.
