Ebb and Flow

Our inner secrets Remain hidden behind fog We show facets of ourselves Like diamond ice crystals Trickling streams of our souls Dripping from cracked dam walls We walk through crowds Burying the inner turmoil Of our white water souls Behind hollow smiles Our emotions heavy like mist On a black-water lake Looking up for inspiration On fluffy white clouds The warm summer rain Droplets become a prism Forming rainbows The colors sprayed Throughout the sky A projected picture of hope Washing away the darkness We hope that someone Would find our Message in a bottle Or read between the lines Of that ripple The waves radiating out Like barriers to our strife Why do we lose ourselves in this ocean called life?
