The waters look calm
Yet nobody can see
The riptides and currents
That lie in the deep
They stay on the bank
Fish from the shore
But where the water is deepest
Is where they’ll find more
Cozy in their life jacket
They choose not to swim
For the river is wide
Just around the bend.
It flows steadily through
What lies beneath
Muddy waters protect
Secrets of the deep.
There are no divers
Looking to expose
The vast treasure
That’s buried below.
So when the storm comes
And the water rushes on
Don’t fear the flood
It’ll soon be gone
It will take what was briefly
Exposed to the light
And push it down stream
Completely out of sight.
Maybe down river
In the midst of its fury
Someone wont fear the storm
And find the treasures that’s buried.
