Crystal Clear

15 lines

I was always crystal clear

waves that break as promised

you can see the whole way through

light, lined with specks and shinning rays

the clouds became thick

dark

you asked if that was okay

I dipped my fingers

they disappeared

my waters darkened and swirled

different directions, new frequencies

currents sweeping the ocean floor

what was once so still

now covered in cloudy mists of a storm

that will never settle again.
