Ebb and Flow

    their ebb and flow, a water show
      the sprinkler’s rhythms hypnotize

    a blade of grass digests a drop
      young flowers vibrate, start to grow  

    around me sparkle prisms bright
      pure colors changing in the light

    I wish this day would never die
      and life’s illusions veil their lie

“life’s illusions veil their lie” ~ too bad I can’t pinch this line now, unless I do so in hypnotic trance :)

and beneath his sword....a pen...unleashing a subtle swath of beauty. there is something soothing about listening to the sprinkler tease the garden.

Myself, I get hypnotized watching the sweep of the back-and-forth. Love it when rainbows/prisms appear sometimes too.
