meet me at the lake
when the sky burns shades of orange and purple
a warm comfort in the vast unknown
meet me at the lake
when the wind howls sharp and merciless
and the waves rise like wild creatures
breaking their teeth upon the shore
meet me at the lake
when we are children, barefoot and bright-eyed
chasing a horizon we could never touch
meet me at the lake
when our silence spans years not moments
When i’m closer to death than to knowing you
the shape of your hand the tilt of your smile
meet me at the lake
when his daughter has my hazel eyes
and your sons smile belongs to another life
meet me at the lake
when the memories are no longer mine
and i can no longer swim the horizon
you will ask and i will answer
meet me at the lake
