Miraculous Calm
Smooth surface Shines like glass Glinting in the sun, Illusive and pale. No slapping waves; No disturbing breeze blows Reflective water. So strange, surreal-- A pond stretching, Yawning infinity, Connecting continents, Hiding life and death Under the glossy cover. So utterly still, So unforgivingly encompassing, Enthralling. Miraculous calm, Smooth gray marble surface Of an ocean Solid enough-- Even mortals like us Can walk upon it.
