I sit alone, staring into the clear, cool water, so calm and still

The reflection of the trees makes the world look upside down

God knows it can feel that way sometimes, especially lately

The mist hovers as it dances over the lake and consumes most everything

Everything except me, of course

It stays just at arm’s length, as if it knows I am off limits

Is it your love that keeps me safe?

Or the way you keep me from going off the deep end?

It’s both, of course, because God knows without you, I’d just be lost in the mist.
