and it was all gold

Eyes tell all stories

I see an entire ocean reflected in mine

When light dances over them, their innermost secrets are reveled

just for a moment

Beautiful and mysterious,

Their depth veiling tales of lost treasure and the grand voyages of past lives.

Gold lies below their surface, as do the monsters.

But they’re not monsters anyways

They’re just big fish.
