Ripples On a Calm Silhouette
On the edge of falling water
Braiding streams onto river beds
Has time filled idle spaces yet?
Ripples on a calm silhouette
The water runs over my skin
And onto deep waters I cling
I glide trying, tied to regret
Ripples on a calm silhouette
Minding my thoughts frowning below
Cutting the waters in tired flow
Running currents always a threat
Ripples on a calm silhouette
Being one with the water wet
My dark secrets to bury yet
In water I drown to forget
Ripples on a calm silhouette.
