Reflecting on reflections

Isn't water a remarkable substance? It’s almost unrecognizable but this is my birdbath, filled to the brim with last nights' rain. Currently home to a few favourite rocks and some gorgeous fall maple leaves. In the stillness not a ripple mars the surface, a mirrored facade, reflecting the entire sky line. Several of my favourite things in concert: water, leaves, rocks and trees.  Natures music for our eyes.

go deeper

deeper still.

Through the mirror of my mind time after time

I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of the way life used to be

Reflections of the love you took from me

Excerpt from a favourite song:

Reflections by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Edward Holland, Jr.
