I see the surface but the depths elude me

Light is rippling off the water, dust,

And sand. The ducks once waded here, the frogs

Are waiting here. 

Light is rippling off the water, dust, 

And sand, but I can’t see. I speak, and only 

The bubbles carry my words. 

There’s an unknown in the pool below me. 

I see the surface but the depths elude me.
