Reflections In the Water

Reflections in the Water Barely perceptible beginning A soft wet caress on ones face Gentle pitter-patter gaining strength Puddles forming erupting with exploding raindrops Life’s poetry played there out by drops The sweet summer squall disappears as quickly as it came With largesse its finish on the pools now given a fond adieu Rain lost suns power now bring them to a perfect reflection Mirror now of the lovely bright light and flowers and of trees Peace under heaven Peace under heaven again Reflets dans I’eau (my crude hackings inspired by Monsieur Debussy’s magnificent piece!)
