Love's Lake
As the eagle replenished his soul in the lake of love,
observing his own image he also saw the image of a salmon
which began to dive deeper, so the eagle took chase.
As the salmon was too quick and agile for him,
he still persisted pursuing the salmon.
Until finally the eagle had swum far too deep to make it back
to the surface for air.
Having realised this, the salmon then faced the eagle and gave him the kiss of life.
The eagle returned safely to the surface exhausted and had to float for quite some time to regain his breath.
Just then the salmon approached the eagle and flopped on his back.
So he flew low to the water until the salmon returned to its homeland, the lake.
To this day the eagle often returns to this lake in hope of seeing his special friend.
After years of doing so, the eagle realised that it's not the salmon that saved him, but the renewal of the lake of love itself.
