Ripples on water https://writersrelief.com/2018/12/14/125-of-the-best-poetry-writing-prompts-for-poets-writers-relief/

A calm surface.
The lake is peaceful; still.
The setting is serene,
To think otherwise is obscene,
And yet I feel a chill.

There's something that is brewing
Deep beneath the calm.
You cannot see it yet,
But once it’s there i’d bet,
You’ll wish you had been gone.

It’s rising up so fast,
There’s ripples all around.
You look around and take a breath,
Hope that there's something left,
Jump in, and hope that you don’t drown.
