Impeccable is the stillness

in the water ahead

the waveless and glassy

crystalline bed.

Yet it wants ripples and splashes

and something to float

someone’s weight

to cause an inward bloat.

And here’s where

I hop in the scene

to explore the depths

of things unseen.

What lies ahead

is beauty at its peak

and parts of me

I wanted to seek.

But the reef is shy

and wants to keep the charm to itself

every time I jump in

I turn inward on myself.

It soothes me to the soul

a place where I lose me,

only to look deeper within myself

at end of this sea.

But this isn’t the cliched ocean

rather the sea of my thoughts

where oblivion and peace

comes in without being sought!
