New Vistas

A pool of water
     left behind by the rain
reflects the light from the
         streetlamps
the thin veil which 
        shielded us
from unreality 
  is torn apart
For the moment 
  we'll view the water
          near our fragile home
Dancers on thin ice
we'll glide for a while
        before the freeze
sets in
        This pool is too
shallow to swim in
   as we watch the
reflected light
    we begin a journet 
to the new
    and as yet unseen
