Still Waters Run Deep

I find a spot near the waterfront

Only the gentle murmur of the pond to be heard

The stillness one feels

Only when someone has departed

Struggling to keep my head above the water

I am transported through a hurricane

Of suppressed emotions

Memories flooding back

Waves of anguish

Pulling me under

I do not recognize myself

In this weather


The author's comments:

This piece is the feeling I underwent when my Grandfather passed away and it is something I to this day will still feel from time to time. The intense feelings of being able to do nothing about your emotions is something everyone feels at some point and I hope they can relate to this poem.
