          pure waters annoint

               with rippled effect...

                   trees whisper vespers

you have only 1 part, what you used for a cut is a restatement of lines 1 & 2, say you are looking at lines 1 & 2 the rippled affect of a drop of water? [you have 3 allusions to water drop/ripple/water] what did you hear, or taste or what else did you see that made you decide the scene felt hallowed? see how you are telling not showing?? fret...Light & Love
