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
