The lights
The lights shimmer softly across the surface of the rippling water Refracting, contorting and breaking within themselves Hinting at the breeze, which hasn’t reached me yet The water falling sounds like torrential rainstorms of years long past Cascades of metaphysical bliss, spreading and stretching like my shadow at dusk I close my eyes and reminisce …
