Array ( [sid] => 73020 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Hey, anybody got a title for this thing? [time] => 2004-11-24 17:51:50 [hometext] => The first line began a poem I wrote over ten years ago. Thought I'd try it anew. Interesting though, it still fits. (Comments are always appreciated). [bodytext] => I am a lake of my unease,
dark and deep.
I am the shadow of the tree.

Behind me, is a life barely lived,
a winding path overgrown.
Before me, the world is breeding possibility.

I am what I am, for now, for me,
lost and sweet.
I am untangling from this web (of defeat).

Above me, the sky has no end,
infinite universe unknown.
Underneath me, cool water rages on.

I am just reaching the surface,
still blue and meek.
grasping at all I do not see.

Within me, the battery was running low,
an innocent on her own.
Without me, well I am nothing without me.

I am left, unforgettably,
somber yet free.
I am right where I need to be. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 260 [topic] => 61 [informant] => girltranscended [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

Gorgeous poem! I enjoyed this very much, nice flow. Well done!
I would suggest as a title ‘lake of my unease’.

So Much not done, yet so much potential...sigh...nice
The title eludes me, I feel like something about water, stillness and potential. Perhaps taking from one of your lines...Cool Water Rage.
