Unsaid Words

Unsaid Words

She sees him, a dense forest
dark and unknown
where he hides from her
and she's hopelessly lost.
Stumbling in his growing shadows
her mind creates what she can't see.

He sees her, a cool glassy pool
reflecting back the sky
where she lies beneath the surface
and he skips across her like a stone.
Treading water in her uncertain depths
he lets her flow through his fingers.

So close the timber to the shoreline
yet neither can see
through the haze of their unsaid words.
