Stay out of other water.
Don’t break
its perfect surface.
All of those angels come down
here
to drink
of its still waters.
You don’t have it in you,
not what you claim.
Power;
in any significance.
Exhort as you may,
I see you face
fashioned of pure belligerence.
Reaching away,
as if to say,
“I’m gonna dive right in
and there’s nothing
you can do to stop me.”
How true.
Again,
being right
has always meant
so much to you.
As you leap,
head first,
I wonder if your consciousness
will register
your mistake.
Black Water Lake,
is only one inch deep,
and when you
dive in,
you’re committing suicide.
Those beings
that you thought were angels
coming in and out of the water
are ghosts
of the dead ascended.
Don’t jump in.
There are signs all over,
but no one wants to believe
anything more
than what their eyes see.
You can do
whatever you want.
It’s true,
that this is your reality
as much as it is mine.
you can heed the words
and you can read the signs,
or you can jump
right in
and die.
The choice is yours.
You can be
another angel out there,
coming in
and going from this
Black Water Lake.
