Reflection In the Dance

As I watch the waters dance Thinking back on life and chance My reflections never fade Stirred emotions as I wade With each wisp of aqua spray I am drifted to a day Somewhere in the life I’ve known As I ponder all alone As I watch the waters dance With each joyful, welcome glance Memories do sway my mind With the fortune that I find What a gift, this gift of life Though I’ve had my share of strife I would not change anything Wondrous thoughts the waters bring

Mike this reminded me of the soothing nature of raindrops and the claiming affect it has on the soul. You reference the reflection through your life. There are stimulus that bring us back to a specific time in our lives, like when you hear a special old song. Wonderful reflections you have penned here my friend...

Your poem reminded me of the dancing waters in Vegas, Mike. Such an uplifting gift to us from the pen of a master poet. I loved it. A definite FAVE.
