Water brings reflection
In its surface, patterns form and dissolve,
the mind wanders in tangents
Floating shapes, wet spaces,
thoughts of the past and future...
like the currents, they flow.
Feelings are more tangible, looking at water.
Loneliness presses on my heart,
the water draws me...
images of restful peace in its depths.
Quiet, another time, another place
Me in an alternate reality...
the ideas, wishes, and dreams eddy and flow
away, away.
I am left with reality - loneliness beside a river.
In its surface, patterns form and dissolve,
the mind wanders in tangents
Floating shapes, wet spaces,
thoughts of the past and future...
like the currents, they flow.
Feelings are more tangible, looking at water.
Loneliness presses on my heart,
the water draws me...
images of restful peace in its depths.
Quiet, another time, another place
Me in an alternate reality...
the ideas, wishes, and dreams eddy and flow
away, away.
I am left with reality - loneliness beside a river.
