Beneath the Surface

Beneath the surface lurks tunnels and trails

Unseen by most, untraveled except by the adept

On occasion, we can see what lies beneath

When the dirt is pushed out and the hidden becomes exposed

Sometimes slow, barely revealed; sometimes fast, fully unveiled

What is beneath the surface usually only pokes its head out quickly and briefly, giving us only a glimpse

Occasionally it pauses still above, looks around, allows itself to be watched

What lies beneath the surface, in hidden tunnels and trails, might even, for a moment, look you straight in the eyes.
