Girl on the Lake

Cerulean glass sea

Absent of wave and still as the dead

It mirrors a cloudless sky, two perfect halves

Water so clear and cold like marble

It spans endlessly without restraint or remorse

Sullied by an intrinsic intruder

Golden rain jacket

Black rubber boots

Small Polka dot umbrella

So unnatural, yet so familiar

A small girl expecting a storm

Exploring a world devoid of change

She walks clumsily across the water

Sending ripples that transform into mighty waves

Her petite person reflected into the sky above

The rain will never come

But still she is ready
