Still Waters Run Deep
We sat there, together, staring down into the water. Pops had allowed the boat to come to rest in the middle of the lake. Once the water settled, there was a stillness – just the gentle bobbing motion of our boat causing minuscule ripples along the surface.
“It’s deep, son. You gotta be careful. Going overboard here, goodness knows what you’d see, down below.”
Quiet contemplation from the both of us.
I looked at him. A serenity emanated from his form. He seemed at peace, but I knew what he’d been through in the past. Still waters run deep.
But I Smile Anyway...

With a lot of deep thoughts.A really philosophic answer to the challenge, Sis! Honestly why you had used it for a son, not for a daughter? 😉 Michael

Pops has the capacity to use a moment as an analogy. I love the further development to show his own deep waters. Well done, Ritu!
