Mirror Pool

I take comfort in the deafening silence

The open space

The empty void

I know all too well that it's unattainable

Undesirable

Unsurprising

I watch the ocean flow beneath my feet

And the horizon stretched endlessly

And the stars dance very still

I want more than just stagnant beauty

Of still waters and still stars

Of unchange

I wish to see the change and excitement of

The clouds rolling

The waves crashing

If only I could see…
