Lying on the surface
Its song captivates
Seekers with great purpose
The water radiates
Beckoning attention
Lonesome it may appear
Some speak with pretention
Who never do draw near
Speechless is the Hearer
Imbued with a yearning
To glimpse a beam clearer
Belly madly burning
Vestiges of footprints
Wash rapidly away
That Light in the distance
Resistant waves delay
Unfathomable Deep
The swimmer tarries on
Lamenting - many weep
For so few reach that Dawn
Night sky transcendent
Day's shimmer evading
Shoreline evanescent
No more contemplating
Moonlight-cast silhouette
Bleakly spied from ashore
Who hasn't got their feet wet
Who chased this Cosmic door?
