Soft sensual whispers
Across clear water
Touching me lightly
As I tread carefully
In your domain
"take only what you need"
"my bounty is free"
"it gives life"
"preserve that delicate balance"
"so all kingdoms thrive"
I hear you and take heed
Spirit of the lake
I love the admonitions of the spirit of the lake. She speaks truth.
ReplyDeleteThank you for listening and showing us what you hear!
ReplyDeleteShe does indeed speak truth. It is sad that we have abused her gifts.

The spirit of the lake should be kept alive and be sought for to ensure survival!

Sadly so many are deaf to the truth whether from lakes, rivers or seas. Both they and us a expendable fodder for millionaires own cash cows.
ReplyDeleteOnly take what we need is important advice.This concept should apply to all the earth's resources.We cannot distinguish between 'need' and 'want'.
ReplyDeleteI love this Spirit of the lake, Her cautionary words and the listener's promise to take heed. A nice one.
