PLACE BY THE LAKE

  He found a place by the lake

  Sat there putting his feet inside

  As the breeze smuggled past his skin

  A fish kissed his feet, stayed beside

  It was like it wanted to tell a tale

  But couldn't speak any words

  Sound was a barrier indeed

  Couldn't break even by a sword

  He pulled out his legs

  As something in the lake shined

  Scared to death, he was

  It was just a broken chime
