~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ damp cherry petals cling to wet stone—no footfalls echo in twilight. the moon's pale reflection drifts alone in the darkening pond.

Sara, what amazing images of serenity and I love the observation that only the moon's reflection drifts on the still waters. Just lovely and very elegant. This is like drinking in peace. Hugs and blessings!
