Liquid Illusion

Intent on gleaning secrets, I observed
my own reflection (instead of marine
life) in this tide pool--its surface intoning,
impulsing, insisting on its own rhythm,
insinuating my face between its
depth and my inquisitive mind.

In this instant, I realized I must look
beyond surfaces, incessant distractions.
I plunged my bare face into the pool,
invasive in my effort to discover
its immense treasure, its unique
interpretations--its soul.
