Shialla Lethel Poet Lyric

The Lake

Wind whispering through my hair,
Playing in the grass beside the bank
Dusk echoing the Summer air
Soon I must sleep under this lonely lake...
I hear the birds crying out
As I wade deeper into the murky depths
My heart pounding so loud,
Frigid waters rise above my head

My memories pass me over
Showing me my pain filled past...
I sing my lullaby as I sink lower,
Fearful regrets stopping at last
I take my final breath,
Expecting peace and love
But I was met instead
With fear so great and pain enough

My soul finds no rest
After it was too late, I realized
I must pay the eternal price...
And wander below God's gracious light
