The Placid Lake.
The lake.
The calmness of the water.
Its stillness falls upon the heart of the r e s t l e s s girl.
the restless s o u l.
Those empty spaces,
That unnquenchable void
are suspended in the cold waters, as she notices her
b r o k e n reflection staring back at her.
The emptiness seems endless as the tranquility of the lake is everlasting.
The silence, the calm of the empty spaces are suddenly disrupted as the boy
across the lake throws pebbles in the water.
The once placid lake is bombarded with ripples that echo endlessly throughout the clearness.
The movement causes the restless girl to feel at ease,
as the water becomes her companion,
as it becomes a part of her.
Waves, the ephemeral movement, the ringing of the water
lullibies her worries.
Pacifies her doubts.
Puts to sleep her heart's anguish.
After a while, the boy stopped coming by the lake
and so the water remained motionless.
it remained lifeLESS.
The inescapable emptiness was embedded in the cold
stillness of the water.
The motionlessness returned.
and the void remained once again.
Only this time, the emptiness was replaced by a face,
engraved in the cold depths of her fragile heart.[/font]

absolutely loved it. "water - lake" work well as a metaphor for the girl's soul - depression - falling in love - loss - depression. nice flow, catchy images, sensitive words. thanks for sharing
