Ode to the Great Lake

By crisundomiel aka Aslan's Chick

I stand there and I lose myself,

Looking at your grandness.

Your gleaming, deep, blue water

Overtakes my gaze.

I wish I could be just like you,

Warm and serene under the gentle sun.

I wish I could flow with you,

And let the soft breeze envelop me.

Oh, if only I could be just like you,

If only I could set adrift.

My life would have a meaning

And I would be finally whole.

Come and take me,

Sweep me off my feet.

Caress me, fill me.

Oh great lake

Please set me free.
