RESONANT REFLECTION

Whether the reflections of nature rippling on the water or reflections of pleasant memories lingering in the mind and shimmering in the ether - or of both water and memory - there is something magical about refections. They resonate radiantly much longer than the duration of their actual temporary existence and provide dimensions beyond the mundane.

I watch a single drop of water form

From a rain-wet leaf

And gather

Random moisture

From its waxy green

Into a sphere of purity,

Then shatter

Instantly

Upon the pavement,

Unnoticed by the stars,

Their fate,

In miniature.

This warm early-summery morning, I am touched by an array of pleasant thoughts and sensations. They are nothing dramatic or unusual, but their combination is especially delightful and reminiscent of many other such resplendent mornings. The windows are still open, with a gentle fragrant breeze wafting throughout the house and caressing my skin.

A few moments

In my life

Are truly precious,

Their glint and glow

As fleeting

As the sparkle

Of a distant star,

Their source

As real.

As near,

As far.

When a moment suspends

In silence

Too profound to break,

It cannot

Be forgot.

Turquoise vibrations emanate

At times

Around intense

Aquarian dreams

And sweep into

Brilliant rainbows of the mind.

My oasis,

My mirage,

Are one,

Filling at the vanishing point,

Perpetually pouring

Out of sight

Except when thirsty.

I am never dry.

From whence comes water,

I cannot know,

For, lo -

I cannot see my own eyes.

Water-colored sunset

Inked in with branches

Silhouetted on the pink and gold.

Morning glory

Fades in memory.

How brief

The sweet illusions

Yet how eternal.

Vivid Imagery possesses Truth.
No need to flaunt it.
It often dwells in stillness,
And in Truth ~

The Comforter

I wanted

To light your life

With a thousand

Lights and colors,

To fill your heart

With melodies

And laughter,

Ever after.

To lift your walk

Upon the ground

At eventide much lighter

Than a flight of birds,

Stir your morning fires brighter

Than the sun itself.

When and where
Are here and now.
And how
Is simply..
This!

Every day's

A beautiful

Beginning.
