Crystal Pools Poem by Heather Burns

As I gazed into large
glowing eyes
clear as crystal
shining like diamonds.

I was caught off guard
my protective shield
was down
for a time I was lost
in their beauty
swallowed up in the
moment.

Opaque pools of water
inticed me
I wanted to wade in
feel splashing
around my ankles.

Get wet, be taught to
swim in those waters
know all of their
mysteries
become familiar with
them.

We stood in silence
not a word was uttered
I understood, they
understood.

I had been caught in
their clutch
my guard is up now
my shield has been
repaired.

crystal pools only
happen
once in a life time.
