The Crystal Sea
By Cathy Roberts
I searched the fountain for a reflection
And finding none I ran
Up to the highest cloud to gaze
Down upon the crystal sea.
I looked into a mirror, but couldn’t find
An image that was truly mine.
It fell once, not so long ago
Into the crystal sea.
I dove into the water and found
My reflection down in the sand.
But I became captive to the image
And trapped in the crystal sea.
