Still Waters Rise

by T.J. Carver

Silent footsteps
Dancing in the maelstrom

Still waters rise

Dying laughter
Echoes through our lifetime

Still waters rise

Drowning beauty
Floating to the plague field

Still waters rise

Darkness shimmers
Mirrors of the fearful

Still waters rise

Singing madmen
Look through their sightless eyes

Still waters rise

Weeping goddess
Reaching for the children

Still waters rise

Death’s hand looming
Grip upon the soul

Still waters rise

Innocents pray
Humanity submersed

Still waters rise

Well, Nature sticks to certain laws. We tend to break them.

Indeed the waters will rise as they please and recede as they please, they do not discriminate.
