Still Waters Run Deep (Pt. 1)

Still Waters Run Deep

Deep blue, still waters…

How deep are thee?

Miles on miles that stretch beyond sight

With the floor decline seeming steep

Calm, no clashing waves or

Fish swimming to the surface for bait

It’s..the still waters that run deep

Deep into this body of water

You’d see,

Everything underneath

The unknown, the feat of

Life without opinion or need to

Survive on others demise, it’s..

Where I reside and need to be

Because on the surface,

In plain view I may seem to be

Unapproachable, you’d notice I’m too

Reserved at times, but it’s because

I quietly observe…

And I tirelessly work to keep my mind as free as can be

Free of passive judgment, I’m a sponge and

I work hard for what I deserve, then

Share with those around me in abundance..

Learning as much as I can..

So, as you search my deep water

You’ll find gems..

Multifaceted, we could

Indulge in conversation as deep as the questions you ask and when

You speak of things I don’t know,

I quietly listen to understand

And let this water take form

You see,

This water runs deep but there’s room for plenty more

And, as you subtly enter to explore you’ll find

That everything underneath the surface

Came at different times

From different places

Different people trying to reach my bottom

Not knowing how deep…

Parts of my water get,

Parts that remain beyond reach

Those can dare to explore,

And try to seek beyond the…

Smirks and smiles and waves goodbye

To see what’s really going on in my mind

We can swim for days,

I can show you the way

Into the deepest parts of this water

Just remain…

Calm, and know that this space is only for me

Places that only those who have been chosen can see

So before you think you’ve got it, and you’ve figured me out

Just know the water runs deeper than

What you think of me now…
