#*A tough outer shell
Soft inner core, within
In crevices deep
Lies sweet water still
Calm and swift
The duck glides by
The pond
Where predators lurk
Like the powerhouse
Its energy source, profound
When it lights up
Brightens the whole town
An inspiration
Lies in the unlikeliest of places
Manifests itself
In Petals of lotuses
Sometimes in life’s unexpected turns
Time unveils
Solutions right
Hidden
In plain sight*#

Was inspired by my friend’s words
“Something’s really bugging me…
and since I know there's no solution
I’ll just keep it all bottled up" - Priti
