Beauty Drifts in Shallow Water
Part 1
Beauty drifts in shallow water
But the depth of life is found
Only in the deep
The surface might be pleasing
But it hides the rocky turbulence
Beneath
A tranquil shoreline
Can never fully describe the turmoil
Underneath
The rocky bottom of the riverbed
Forms the shifting features
That shape an urgent course.
If I am seduced by the shallow edge
I may be swallowed by the middles
Deep.
And if I never learn its flow
The true nature of its inner beast
Will never be revealed.
Part 2
If you like the look you see
Do you ever wonder what’s within?
Does the picture that you see
Portray reality?
And if you love the imagery
Will it last forever?
And when the vision fades
Will your heart stray?
True beauty can only be seen
When the rocky inner truth is told
And when our hearts are clearly shown
We can drift along each others
wild river ride.
