To the Lake by Cassandra Solon-Parry I would like to go with you to sit by a lake Lit by the haunted blue light of the moon And then we would see, in the darkness, our love In all the depth and the black, the light and the blue, Our love, without end, all around. I would not put you to counting the ways, Various ways that you love me, For love was not meant to be counted Like years on the rings of a fallen tree, like the years gone by. Love is more likely seen in the gaping scape of the sky. I would like to go with you to the world's edge Where Nothing is outspread below, And down into the dark heaven, With hand holding hand we would go.
