The Sea of Riddles
The Ugliest Truth
A darkened wave whispers to the shore,
What question does the tide never ask?
The sands only know, but will never tell.
In the brine of broken promises,
What creature hides beneath the kelp?
A truth too hideous for eyes to bear.
When the sailor dreams of distant lands,
Why does the compass spin in circles?
A riddle without words, in silence it speaks.
