What Lies Beneath, Tracy Maras

Within

truculent spirit

zest of being

pouring briskly

into its endeavors

there lies

true measure

hard essence

of pure substance

force and drive

expansion and contraction

never letting go

seeking its own path

as it is with the vast sea

formidable, unrelenting

carrying complex elements

swirling and plunging

boundless yet focused

deep and true

rising to challenges

maintaining stride

countenance evolves

on its surface

forming only a glimpse

of what lies beneath
