Way Up There

Posted on December 13, 2024June 6, 2025

Way up there, saddled in the breeze,
nestled where most will never see,
lies a lake, a christening pool,
a gift from Heaven, seems to me.

To protect it, we leave it be,
but I confess, a part believes,
that one little dip in this jewel
could turn an old soul new,
and set a new one free.
