BODY IN THE WATER

Body lying in the water

No movement or expression is shown

Body that no one has searched for

Body of someone unknown

There in the lake of disaster

That of which flows the stream of distress

Lies a body of a woman so stiff

She lies cold, not breathing, undressed

She lays waiting for someone to pick her up

And breathe into her the air that she fiends

Instead the cold air has frozen the waters

The wind around her never stopped being so keen

She lays soundly, her hair covers her face

She is so still, I believe she is dead

Her body is silent and steady

I can see the numbness of her head

Speak to me, move a little, and reach out your hand

A tear rolled down my face to join the ripples of the water she was in

The entire lake magically warmed up, the woman began rising out of the wetness

All she needed was for someone to care, emotion heartfelt and sincere

It saved her so powerfully, unexplainable, the way one can make another feel
