swept away


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.
