You

The world was dark blue as only the full moon and twinkling stars light the deadly stillness. A lake as dark and steady as death should be A white light was gleaming in the emptiness I didn't know what it was... A mermaid from the lake? An angel from God? All I knew is that it was a She I said hello. She giggled.. And Oh her giggle played with my ears I asked again, who are you? She giggled another time and said, Come closer to see As my heart was beating like a jungle drum I stepped forward I was shocked because I saw something more beautiful than anything in the world I was speechless, I was paralyzed... The entire world seemed to stop, the hushing of the trees seemed miles away My legs felt weak, my heart took flight I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing Because they were seeing... You
