Poem (a fragment)Melissa Johnson

If you should drop into the golden pool
Where smooth as glass the water lies
And look below for sunken treasure-trove
Where light no more can spy
And follow fishes' pleated tails
Of gauze and rain, and sundered sails--

I'll watch for you at the world's edge
Under the drifting yellow leaves;
I'll wait above for the ripple purl
That shows where your heart heaves
In silver bubbles, in jewels of air
Until you break the surface once again.

This is by Melissa from Tilting the Void.

I think this is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of Coleridge.
