My Fisherman

[Tiffany Call-Black]

Placid morning, smooth glass lake

Hiding life below the surface.

Mirrors of the skies,

Ripples distorting lies.

Untold secrets lie on the sandy bottom,

Unkissed by the sun

Never feeling its warmth.

This used to be my world

Cold and silent

Alone and isolated.

Never sharing the things inside.

You broke the waters

Dove in deep and brought me the heat

Passions awakened for living

Life became a new game.

You cast a line and hooked my heart

Reeled it in and tucked it in the creel of your promise.

No more the shipwreck of loneliness

Now a voyage to the bright horizon of tomorrow.
