1. only shapes to see
living
the living looking through
still waters
trembling
life seeing death through still waters
trembling
a distorted reflection of life
death sensing life
a dark shape
vaguely remembered
backlit by whispy remnants
of
souls
they desire the darkness
it was once theirs
the light flares brighter behind
the dark shape moves on
leaving still waters
leaving remnants
of
itself
reflected
