Puddled Reflections
Cast a stone into the water
catch a ripple, hold it now
slowly turn and reach inside
the futures waiting for you there.

Peer inside the rippling haze
through the broken face
gather all your wits to ponder
of this place so far away.

As you feel the warmth engulf you
the dreams will pull you in
the sounds that echo deeper
are just droplets out of place.
