Shallow waters seldom hide the blackened sand below Rocks and land, erodes in tides, defiled by ebb and flow The calmest waters, clouded up, by a river built on lies The purest shores, shrouded over, engulfs an isle that cries The years weep past, the time goes by, the waters seldom turn Every second bleeds, through wasted lives, the oceans start to burn As memories close and the truth is lost in waves of spite and shame Hope breaks through, no matter the cost, drowning eons of blame The storm batters on and the swell can’t contain the depths of the ocean below The current rips across all the doubt and the pain As the strong waters start to flow The tide starts to turn and fresh water renews The life force inside the abyss Resurgent, re-splendid, the water refuses To be held back, to be held down. Resist
