Quiet Reflection

in silent reflection the lake reveals a crescent moon a parcel of light wakes the sleeping waters… with ripple effects in the confusion there is lake and there is sky-- if the earth turns upside down the sky may be lake and lake may be sky, or does confusion mean there are two crescent moons? glittering candles scattered upon glass are firefly lanterns stars admire twins spread upon the still water as the mirror comes alive silent reflection... the truth of nature reflects two views of beauty whatever they may be ______________________________________________________________

Wow! What a tremendous poem with a combinatiion of many great forms, Carrie. Before the famous "Flight 19" vanished from radar, the pilot reported that the sea and the sky seemed to blend. He even said he could not tell one from the other. Perhaps this is an explanation of what happens in the Bermuda Triangle where these military planes were lost. I know you are speaking of a different "reflection" here, Carrie and the poem is beautifully written. Love, Carolyn
