Drawn to water
we rarely gaze at our reflection there
seeing instead the line of trees in duplicate
along the farther shore
seeing the stars removed from the sky
to a tableau of sparkling gems
upon which we float
The world shows us
at any moment
even on moonless nights
where to uncover its secrets
It is at the close of day
the tailings
our cocktail hour
where we tally up what was accomplished
share our bounty
remember why we laugh
set aside worldly woes
forgive all shortcomings
including our own
