Staring into the water,
Reflections they distort my face.
Lines echo those around my eyes;
I see into the ripples I now embrace.
Drop a pebble into the water;
The lines they reach the edge
An everlasting wave of hope
That on my heart I pledge.
The water returns to normal;
Calmness reflects upon the lake.
No longer broken nature,
Just the silence left to break.
For underneath the water,
Just like in my heart, there’s life.
The stone sinks to the bottom,
Devoid of pain and strife.
The stone remains forever
Until the next is cast
A collection of hopes and dreams
That in our hearts will last.
So take your stone and throw it,
Cast your wish upon the tide.
Remember it forever,
Until it can no longer hide.
