LKE MUDDY WATERS

LIKE MUDDY WATERS Like muddy waters dank and dark Crawling slowly to Ocean’s deep Holding secrets  forever to keep Lost in Water’s whirling dance I make my way to each day’s end Whirling  in my own mystery again and again I know all too well secrets I dare  not tell Fearing what is to be
I close my eyes and dance with my mind My soul alone  to see
Those things unkind approaching me

“Like muddy waters dank

"Like muddy waters dank and dark Crawling slowly to Ocean’s deep Holding secrets forever to keep" I love this deep dark image, it is so descriptive of those sneaky waters slowly, surreptitiously gliding under other waters, sandwiched like heaven and earth, good and bad together, the one unseen unknown, where no light reaches and yet going on and on on their dark and dirt-filled journey, Uff, Uff, as we say here in N. creepy, and this description may help you project your troubles into another element and lessen the importance of them hopefully where they are at the moment, how else can you be quit their plagiary and find your peace of mind? It is no wonder that you wish to see your soul, that indescribable , indesrcibeable.... to be another, other. I wonder what your secrets are? Understanding this poem yours as aye Ann of Norway.
