Words of Art – Day 49 – Reflection

Reflection

The morning sun reflects
Off of the gray-blue lake
Like an emptied bag of diamonds
On black velvet.
It calms my mind and
Allows me to reflect.
Staring at the sparkling light
Is a form of meditation
Taking me deeper and deeper
Into the present,
Allowing me to access the past.
A past with few regrets
And many, many bright lights
Like the morning sun
Reflecting off of a gray-blue lake.
