Reflections

A short poem

By Lisa LuehrsPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Water is free,

as of ocean and sea.

It is calm until frightened,

and sends waves that are heightened,

If you watch her while she sleeps,

you will see the beauty that she keeps.

But if you look her in the eyes,

It was just the reflection from the skies.

If she lets you in,

Don't take advantage of what's within.

The monsters you hear about inside,

Are the ones she tries hardest to hide.

The only thing holding her back,

Is the love that people seem to lack.

She is free and full of beauty,

But it is humanity that treats her so cruelly.
