We were swimming
side by side
in the largest lake
this side of the island

in the crystal clear water
we could see,
as you pointed out,
the rising branches
and the growing evergreen
leaves
soon to break the surface

So, i reached over
and as if floating
without movement
we kissed
and touched

and when the moment passed
our eyes,
slowly moving apart,
were as locked as our lips

The summertime
will bring
the trees to the surface
and the crystal clear
will be covered
and taken
by the evergreen
