Emerald Waters

Around the bend where the rocks rise high
The emerald waters caress the sky
Not a murky brown or a common blue
But a dazzling green, an extraordinary view
Waves reach the corners of the world
His life traveling upon their curl
Beneath these waves where no sun can reach
An infinite number of miles at least
Lies the soul of this emerald land
Hidden within these eyes of a man
These waters hold his heart and soul
His struggles, his victories, and his goals
They store his anger and his pain
They house within them his joy and gain
And through these eyes you can see it all
From every climb to every fall
And although his tongue in known to lie
The truth is revealed within his eyes.
