The Lake

Post by Neville Briggs » Sat Sep 27, 2014 8:31 am

The Lake

As I stood on the shore
Of the lake,
I wondered;
How many tears does it take
To make a lake.

And if my hands
Were stained
With blood;
What lake could make sufficient
Flood, to wash away
That blood.

Enough tears in the Middle East to make a lake Neville. Too much blood too.

Thanks Catherine. We might wonder what we were "celebrating" at midnight on 31st December, 1999.
