In the waters of the lake
Where the crystals rested
I looked at my reflection
Framed with my hair falling down towards the lake
In the quiet atmosphere
Only I heard noises
Hammering screams
Of all the signs I refused to see
And mystical whispers
Reminding me of the exquisite rainbow,
“It is bound to shine after the hurricane”
I listened as my heart reacted insanely to those words
I stared for so long
As my tears rippled the waters
The apocalypse of feelings exploded in blinding light
And I was commanded to be still
As still as the Sun is while planets orbit
“Be still!”
I heard,
“Be still!”
In the waters of the lake
Where the crystals rested
The voices that captured me were mine
I looked at my reflection
And the crystal waters were also staring back at me
As my tears dissolved into it
I saw colors I have never seen
