What Lies Beneath

Crossing the lake on a canoe Splashing hurriedly the water Watching the seagulls roaming about, Some crocodiles camouflaged waiting for their prey….. The crossing is tiring as the lake fights the paddle Splash goes the seagull diving to catch a surfacing fish, As I enjoy the wondrous view of the vast trees and plants… I stopped the canoe in the middle of nowhere, Gazing at the still waters Wondering what lies beneath, What artifacts might be found, Mysteries forever hidden in the deep bottom of the lake.
