Still Waters
Still waters!
See how deep they run.
Still waters how they deceive.
Still waters hide the torrent of emotion.
Still waters mystify.
Still waters can lead you to a place...
a dark place with that calm exterior.
Draw you into their illusion.
Can you forgo it's peace?
Can you stop from being hypnotised?
Still waters are waiting to drag you down
make you drown
in pacifying waves.
Softlty, gently easing you into the darkness.
Give me a rushing river..
full of life.
Give me the mobilty of the movement that does not deceive me.
Give me life and I can sustain me
Give me movement..
And then I can accept the calm.
Still waters are then my friend.
I understand the depth now.
Now I can understand.
