The Lake at Night
The “In The Lake”
The Lake at Night
The lake, at night, will dance with me while everyone is sleeping
The lake, in darkness, answers me, to all the things my skin is asking
But I cannot stay here with you, in this shelter you’ve built us here
Because I know God favors those who will come out courageously
I see the sun shine on the leaves, the water holds the fishes
And oh, the glory of the trees, whose arms are spread so wide, and high,
And, tiny ant, I climb and sing, and whither on the ground and die
I know the light, held out and given, when I go where I am in it
The “In The Lake”
In the lake, where the wind made your skin made of paper
You tore your arms and hands around you
And you point the echoes toward the cold air
And the words are yours, you
To climb, the sky, into
And the water swirled and snow white rushes,
Falling down in clouds and blankets
And buried my head and my eyes up
And I looked, I just saw and looked
‘Cause the words are mine, too
To climb, my home, into
