Image result for lamp post reflection

Soundless shadows on pavement: What does the night bring? Is love now just a mirage? Why does my soul sing? Reflections entrance, allure in the dimmest light: a mystery dance. Lamplight reflects in puddles, mirrors of my soul. Opaque shadows on pavement, now darkness the goal. Reflections abstruse underneath a glowing light, my heart thus confused. She loves me, she loves me not, I now ask again. The night provides no answers, is my silent friend. Where are my flowers for the plucking to begin, clarity's bowers? 4th Place Seguidilla Contest Sponsor: Nette Onclaud 9/13/17

Thanks so much, Nette, but because I was concerned you only wanted one stanza I deleted the other two. I have now replaced them.
