In a Puddle
Circular round, quite over and over
Raindrops fall rightly into the puddle
Grey as the darkest color except night
Making the mind to become quite muddled
The purest of reflections disturbed here
Through the puddle it is shown now aligned
Grandest creation put at a small scale
It remains still when perfectly designed
Great puddle reflects the world above it
Only interrupted by a few drops
They are a blessing to view, heaven sent
Made for enjoyment, boys in them to hop
Silver surface suggests sure royalty
Abundance of delight, marvelous light
Reflected off the surface of water
Brilliant and beautiful even in night
No matter how grey the sky is above
Puddles collect raindrops quite lovingly
Making ripples to flow from end to end
Rain creates an aura and is friendly
Opens the heart to the beat of a drum
Leaving the feeling of awe before me
No part of nature put forth projection
Life that is important and surely free
