The Lake
Lakes are the holding places
For water
As the fireplace
Is the holding place for fire,
As the plaza is the holding place for people.
I know a lake in the mountains.
My heart is the holding place,
My heart is the keeping place,
For the things I know
About the lake in the mountains.
Always will I keep
In my heart
The things that belong there,
As lakes
Keep water
For the people.
