In This I Find... Poem by Mathew Sutter

I arrive at the lake,
That everlasting lake,
It always takes my breath away.
I'll never get used to it,
Even years later,
I gaze upon it with awh.

The water is pure and white,
The rocks are smooth and perfectly shape.
Here I can find myself.

I gaze at my relfection and what do I see?
Well, at first I see me as I really am,
But then ripples begin to form,
And even after an hour,
I couldn't find myself anymore.

I looked at the sky,
Asking, 'Is this a sign? ',
But nothing answers the question.

I swim for many hours and eat only what the valley has to offer me,
Afterward, I return to the lake to gaze upon myself,
And am suprised to find someone completley different.
They had red eyes, and dark skin.
Pointy ears and sharp teeth,
I'm so suprised that I jump from the lake and go home.

So,
What in this did I find?
To this day,
I still don't know that question...
