Lady of the Lake
In the mountain where I grew up,
There is a lake that no man has ever seen freeze.
It is not the biggest, but it is the deepest.
Just like your soul,
It is the depth of it that protects it.
You are changing again my love.
A transformation that will require all of your
Strength.
You now have to enter the water.
You need to take with you
The sword of power;
Bring it
To the depth of your soul.
Once there, gather your spirit and wait.
I will light a fire by the edge of the water
And stand vigil
I’ll make sure the surface of the lake
Remains tranquil
So you can rest in the warms of its depth.
When the time comes you’ll be summoned up.
As you reach the world again,
The sword will pierce your chest.
Five days and nights you will sleep
Before the power of your heart be restored.
New life will flow through you.
Energy and power you will regain after the pain.
By all that is true, let it be so.
As above, so below
My lady of the lake.

Didier Beaugrand lives in Cambridge, the UK, with his wife Polly.
He grew up in the French Alps and always enjoyed the great outdoors. His first literary love was R L Stevenson's Treasure Island. Jack London came soon after, and as a teenager, he moved on to Jack Kerouac and Jim Harrison. His first real encounter with poetry was with A Rimbaud and P Verlaine. By then already a young man, he dutifully followed their lead and applied himself to misuse his youth as best he could; he too wanted to be a poet and seer and started writing around this time. After two years of National Service in Guadeloupe, West Indies, he carried on travelling, mostly hitchhiking and slipping rough. Although he never quite lived on the streets, he visited often and long enough to learn that he didn’t want to make it a permanent residence. He met his wife in early 2001, and they settled in a small village outside of Cambridge. He owns and manages www.blackfeatherpoetry.blog and approaches poetry writing and reading as a form of personal spiritual practice.
