thoughts incorporated

Like the placid waters of a silver lake

she exudes a sense of calm

quiet and composed

tranquil

BUT

Spare a longer moment and search her eyes

INTENSITY FIRE subdued.

Churning inside are trembling fears

Her mind shrouded clouded blanketed with

conflicting beliefs contrasting ideals

D e f l a t e d Z e a l

Somewhere under the lucid cover

ambiguities uncertainities confoundingly hover

WHY?

she knows not her own mind

her thoughts do languish like

the last dried leaves

of a coldwinter

clingingtothebranches

before

they too are cast away

by the wind only to be tread upon... trampled.
