we can see each other if we want to

it's clear

water, as we stand here at the edge

of the lake.

we can

see the bend

of golden

fish,

the underwater

greenery.

the silk

of sand and stones

the swirl

of seas,

yet to be.

we can

see the sky too, the clouds

and sun,

our faces,

our legs

our shoes.

we can see each other

in this

deceptively calm

and simple world,

we can see it all,

if we

want to.
