on the mining ponds



The still water
On the mining ponds
There is no sign of danger
There is the calm

The dark algae water
In the hot sunny day
The sparkles of reflection
The enticement of a dare

The teenagers will take the bait
In the hot or windy day
They will jump in for a swim
Until something bad strikes

In the still water
Nobody can see its danger
What lies in the ponds?
Sometimes the water ghosts claim

The exchange for a next life
Living its watery existence for something new
There is always a calling to the weak
Don’t go alone you will fall deep

The still water
The calm of the mining ponds
Don’t get fool by it
The bad waiting to exchange
