Reflections

Water serene lakeshore waves through the night
cresting in rhythms under moonlight.
Shimmering surface like that of a mirror
reflecting the essence of the one gazing
and peering.
Looking for traces of semblance to joy
but despair is oft all it finds.
Eyes so blurred by tears as they fall
it could fill the lake itself replenishing its tide.
Searching for elusive peace within the still beating heart inside.
