The Pond

Come off to me
my little child
so innocent and pure


Down through the path
and out the gate
I'll tempt you with my lure


Right past the trees
where flowers grow
and ferns are under foot


Your mind is new
your heart trusts all
my plans have taken root


The moon is bright
it fills your eyes
they glow with fantasy


The night is soft
your steps are light
you'll soon belong to me


My shore laps to
your beating heart
the rhythm I can hear


Come close, bend down
and touch my face
there's nothing you should fear


Your sweet red mouth
it forms a smile
your laughter rings with glee


Come closer still
please take a look
in me what do you see?


Just one more reach
now here you come
your cries can not be heard


Deep down you sink
into my arms
I'll never say a word
