When the lake turned cold, we wondered if it was ever warm and why we swam laughing, naked in a thunderstorm? We dried ourselves by an open fire and fell asleep on the shore. We woke up cold, the fire was ash and we wondered: had it ever been warm? When gentle words turned harsh, we wondered how we’d ever kissed, why we ever warmed to one another only to turn to ice. When we were both left wondering; which way to turn? Was it time to write another chapter? Swim in a different lake or try a new sport?

From warm to cold… much reflection needed to realize the patterns in life and what changes to make.

Lost love and a creative, clever allegory!
