Still Surface

Still surface
Clear
Untainted by
Ripple
Or clouded
Reflection

Still surface
Shining
Sky and
Sunlight
Beautifully careworn
Face

Still surface
Shares
Nothing of
Pain
And celebrations
Beneath

Still surface
Shattered
By turbulent
Depths
To wipe
Away

Still surface
Returns
For moments
Calm
Time between
Storms
