Water Walk

A glassy water tabletop,
A mirror of birds and trees,
Hanging like veins in marble,
Dangling fresh, colorful flowers.

A plethora of graceful choices,
Bringing simplicity, clarity,
Into a culture of conflict,
Where confrontation reigns.

A patient rest at this calming pool,
Reveals her reticent beauty,
Willing to show herself to those,
Who stop to look, to understand her.

Sip her artistic relief from chaos,
The villainy of a factitious world,
She is a glimpse of what could be,
Will be – truth, peace, and love.
