Ribbons of light dance along the riverbank,

An endlessly moving patchwork of an endlessly present luminescence.

I tilt and turn the bent surface of the spoon,

Making faces and laughing along with the disproportional other me.

The snowcaps and rocky outcroppings are magnificently duplicated

By the sunset laden mountain pond.

Like a panorama, the grill presents its surrounding,

Stretched and elongated on its hood.

An elderly husband and wife kneel down,

Clothing and feeding a starving orphan

In a Zambian village.

On their faces, tears full of wisdom and love

Portray grateful smiles and laughter, and more tears of joy.

But it is through their actions that they make the most resounding reflection.

Of You.
