Lake to Lagoon

Once I was a frozen lake.

The deepest parts of me hidden from view by a layer of blue-white ice.

Once I was a frozen lake.

People skated by me, uncaring about the danger beneath.

Once I was a frozen lake.

The ice cracking in the spring of my awakening.

Once I was a frozen lake.

The ice breaking beneath the weight of another person.

Now I am a clear blue lagoon.

With fresh water, sustaining life.

Now I am a blue lagoon.

Bright and clear, with purpose ahead.

Now I am a blue lagoon.

Those that skated on me lie beneath.

Now I am a blue lagoon.

Those that tested me, test no more.
