Go Fish

A reflective lake shows no fish
But you know they’re there underneath
Just like a person’s deepest wish
Is harbored in the heart unseen
If you look beyond what they show
You might find below, a treasure trove

Interesting use of simile, and an excellent little poem! I see you have gone "Premium." I intend to do the same, but not until I get a new computer sorted out! Hope you are well. xoxo Robert.
