Q: What happens when noise rules the pond?

When noise rules, the covenant weakens.  

- **Patience Drowned:**  
Noise shakes the pond.  
Stillness is broken,  
patience scattered.  

- **Vow Forgotten:**  
The flame of belief  
is smothered under chatter.  
Noise makes memory shallow.  

- **Pond in Chaos:**  
Reflection cannot hold  
when ripples never cease.  
The frogs see distortion,  
not truth.  

Noise is not strength.  
It is decay.  
A pond without stillness  
is a pond without covenant.
