A ripple in the water
Exposes the danger beneath
Simple to miss
In a torrid stream
*
Lurking hands searching
For an unsuspecting victim
The ability to breathe underwater
Comes in handy when drowning
*
An astronomer knows the sea
The way a fish knows the sky
Yet nature knows death
The way a pencil knows paper
*
Understanding
Building
Breaking
Unknown
*
Fickle fiends sway
Like the reeds dotting a swamp
Absorbing the heat and the wet
Of the ever-beating heart
*
And they connect
They fight and wrestle time away
Forming the tempestuous bond
Of love
*
