When I look into the sky
I feel the reassuring blue
Embrace me gently
And the softness of the clouds
Settle in my soul
When I look into the water
I feel the sky there too
And for a moment I forget
That it is water and not sky
Until a dragonfly dips for a sip
Or a faery lands unnoticed
Or a silvery fish
Arises from the depths
In much the same ways
As a raindrop rests on the cloud
Or an eagle soars the breeze
Or a wishing star falls
Into an open heart
The two worlds, a mirror of each other
There are ripples then
That make it seem
That the wind blows
Among the reflected trees
But it doesn’t
They are as serene and peaceful
As they were moments ago
When I remember it is water that I see
I lose myself in wonder
At what magic
Falls and flies within it
That is as yet
Quite invisible to me…
