Tranquility Interrupted

My soul, a translucent pond,

Waters clear, imbued with the light

Of the golden burning sun

Not a drop disturbed,

Not a wave displaced,

Until inevitably,

Another comes along,

Splashing through what is unknown

I only wish to remain here,

A deep trench,

Filled with love, laced with life,

Free from woe, safe from strife

This is all I wish for

Why can’t you respect that,

And leave this habitat of mine

Alone, a sacred temple

Only for me to know
