Introduction to The Lake

When I needed a break from classes in college I used to go up to the northern section of the state where there was a lake that was a hot spot for diving. I was very intimidated by the higher elevations but I would go up there, take a peek down, and then walk back down to heights that I would be comfortable jumping from. I wrote the next poem based on the subject of dying a very lonely death, but one that would leave all in doubt as to the true meaning of why and how such death occurred. While I have no regrets ever making that tall leap of faith from the cliffs, I do believe next weeks poem will make you think twice about taking unnecessary risks.
