A pool of still water

About choices of the heart

I am a pool of still water
I am a mirror
of your intentions
and will reflect
your choice

You may choose
to do me harm
throw rocks at me
My surface
will ripple

I will reflect
the emptiness
of your soul
The ripples
mock you

You may choose
to care for me
Under my surface
my soul
awaits you

I would receive
your gift to me
with all the passion
of who
I am

A pool of still water
My heart beats
with anticipation
I await
your choice.
