by Jasmyne LaBeau
You must know the lore of the woman
The woman who would cry
The woman who would sink
For you must know who she was
The woman with a broken heart
Her lover gone to war
To only return in her dreams rather than flesh
You must know what she had done
The woman who would sink beneath the water
To never surface, only as a spirit
roaming through the village
Searching for her soldier
Only to find her way back to the water
Rising, then sinking beneath the lilies once more.
Jasmyne Labeau is a twenty-three year old poet based out of Michigan. She enjoys creating written pieces that are full of the deepest emotions such as love, heartbreak, mystery, grief or nostalgia. When she is not creating, you can find her canoeing on the river, adventuring in the woods, reading fantasy novels, or spending time with her loved ones.
