The Rippled Mirror

The gentle ocean waves tickling my toes beckon me.
They say,
our friendship will go a long way,
for you and I are as similar,
as the grains of sand that stay together.
Serene we may appear to a passerby,
while the pinch of salt makes us weep and cry.
They may see sailing ships of joy,
while buried below are sunken dreams to fly!

Startled I stand under the twilight sky,
though after a moment I do reply-
My dear friend in your voice i hear,                                                                                      my fear to be seen so clear.

Show not to others what we hide beneath,
for after all,
it is our secret to keep.
