Lovers in Lake

Lovers in Lake
I swim,
in the light of the moon glade,
prying back the rusted shutters
of the night.
The water is deep
and I too exhausted to return
safely ashore.
I swim,
certain you beckoned me,
my lady of the lake,
into the shimmering reflection
of my faith.
You are elusive,
yet closer than I
and embrace me
like lovers,
as the water slowly drains
from my back
into the lake of night.
