Drawn on through dappled sun and shade,
Through pristine sward and murky sedge,
Her melody of subtle gliss,
Attracts me to the water's edge.
In rippling stars she cloaks herself,
I cannot see her other side,
Her glinting surface holds me back,
Her leeward shore to me, denied.
And in the shadow on her face,
I seem to sense her hidden deeps,
Her song calls from a benthic place,
Which tragic secrets rule and keep.
To lift her heart from those cold depths,
I'll dare to dive beneath her waves,
And if I drown you'll know the cause;
She was the love I couldn't save.
