Light - Captured
A small pool of water
left behind by the rain
reflects the light
of a streetlamp
the thin veil
which protects us
is torn apart
but for a moment
we'll view the reflections
near our fragile selves
Dancers on thin ice
we'll glice for a time
before the freeze sets in
As we view the reflected light
something in our hearts
tells us that we are going
on a long journey
into the new
and as yet unseen
moving into
the unknown
leaving behind
only shards of memory
leaving behind
our visions
and loves
as we
move towards dawn
the night a passing memory
smoke rising on the horizon
makes us realize
we're a part of something
larger than we know
