Midnight Swim

One thing my wife and I
Used to do was go to a
Private lake at midnight
And go for a cool, relaxing
Swim. It was so peaceful
Under the moonlight. We
Don’t do it anymore, but
The memories remain of
The days of youth.

The Well

When we were teenagers
It was a custom to go to
Some abandoned property
Where there was a well.
We would drop a coin in
And make a wish. The
Funny thing was you
Wouldn’t hear the coin
Hit the bottom. Once
Someone thought they
Heard a voice deep
Down in the well
Saying help me, help
Me. A professional at
Rescuing people in
These situations threw
A rope over the side
And went down. He
Was never seen again.
