River Lie Line

River Lie Line

An angry creek raged inside and out 
What had seemed placid and calm became
Bobbing up and down his fog clouded 
Lighthouse distant glimmer deflecting

Torched viewpoint fault line allocated
Tsunami taking him further from
Truths of the shoreline receding fast
Guilty anchor culpable life line

The buoy deflated cheating lie
Lying exposed punctured flat

He took one deep trustworthy breath
Answered anger and swam for his life
