Reflections In the Water

Reflections in the Water

Barely perceptible beginning 
A soft wet caress on ones face 

Gentle pitter-patter gaining strength 
Puddles forming erupting with exploding raindrops

Life’s poetry played there out by drops
The sweet summer squall disappears as quickly as it came  

With largesse its finish on the pools now given a fond adieu
Rain lost suns power now bring them to a perfect reflection  

Mirror now of the lovely bright light and flowers and of trees
Peace under heaven 
Peace under heaven again

Reflets dans I’eau


(my crude hackings inspired by Monsieur Debussy’s magnificent piece!)
