Shallow Waves 



While swimming deep within myself
Could channel an escape
Where I could play in active dreams
That took on any shape

My certainty was confident 
If laughter sounded sure 
That just a dose of pleasantries
Could remedy a cure 

Though happiness felt relevant 
And struggled for a smile 
Still sad reserves of emptiness
Found loneliness worthwhile 

And knew if made to surface swim 
Upon a shallow wave 
My hope would sink its certainties 
To drown in sorrow's grave
