I had a dream where I was asleep,
I could see myself lost in the deep,
Where terror and love walk hand in hand,
When the shyest person walks tall and grand.
I saw myself crying and I turned away,
Turning from myself in a cold dismay,
I donâ??t know why I didnâ??t care,
But reach out to myself I wouldnâ??t dare.
I reached out at last to touch the mirror,
I wriggled and squirmed then gave a last shiver,
at the waters silver edge illumined by a star,
The lake is icy, and stretches out tonight.
