The Weir
by Elizabeth Challinor
Don't be deceived
By the beauty of the weir
With its frothy white waters
Your gaze
Imagines constancy
Where there is none
What you see
Is a beautiful lie
An illusion of permanence
While waters
Keep moving on
But don't be convinced
by the grumbling
That all is lost and gone
Of a cynical mind
For your gaze still captures
The pure white essence
Of all that was
Loved and left behind
