depths filled with untold
secrets; calm waters mirror
what wants to be seen.
bottom, up
see the fragmented truth.
refraction, reflection, sunlight
sinking down.

unprepared for quick silver
flash, slicing through bubbles
rising. silt clouds, gritty
unknown.

swirling rising falling
beat of the crush of waves;
shattering against rocks.
brown arms swipe, passerby
clinging to the truth.

mirrors shatter.
alter the course;
challenge
the present, learn
from the past,
dictate the future.
