Placid Black
Beneath the icy surface
Lies depth beyond imagination
A universe of emotion
Untouched, unexplored
The lady knows not her own lake.
She chooses to inhabit
The forests and deserts
Castles and caverns
For the wolves and bears
And dragons there
Are safer than her own…
And the lake is peaceful
Beneath an icy sheet
The gleam off a sliver
Is a glimmer of a smile
Or is it just a shiny trace
Of what lurks beneath the ice?
Will not one ever know?
For the lady knows not her own lake.
