Far Beneath
Sunlight strikes the basin and reflections dazzle.
Shining waves are chasing as I slowly paddle.
I pull the oars, myopic, intent upon the beach,
while depths of wondrous mysteries lumber
somewhere
far beneath.
This short poem is my response to this week’s Trifextra challenge, which was to add 30 words to these three: Myopic, Dazzle and Basin.

Lovely, lyrical and mysterious, all wrapped up in one, neat 33-word poem. Great work, as always, Brian!
I’ll just say ‘ditto’ to Tom’s perfect comment on this excellent work, Brian!
Thanks for reading!
My favorite use of myopic thus far!
Thanks Angie! I thought it was a tough one to work in there naturally, so I appreciate that
Lovely.
Lyrical and beautiful, Brian. Especially this line: depths of wondrous mysteries lumber
Oh, beautiful – what mysteries we miss while looking the other way.
Oh this one I really love.. the lake with its mysteries beneath.
