Pondering Pond

Looking into the waters depths

I dream of many things

but who else has pondered here

upon these shores 

where I rest

I look in

see my reflection

the little ripples

remind me of aging

I see many faces

lovers glances

pity eyes of need

I see a stone 

it is deeply hidden

who tossed it in

was it a skipping stone

I ponder at the pondering pond

just a quiet, still pond

but so many secrets 

are laying, waiting

in my reflection

I pick up a glassy stone

throw

it skips three skips

to far out of my sight

but now I have left a piece

a new reflection

pondering at the pondering pond

I like this. It reminds me of when I visited Georgia's reflecting pool. Was so peaceful there, despite the crowds of people. Was like the pool chilled everyone out, just long enough to remember what silence is like.

The mirror of life...
the glass of no-doubt...
the eye of the needle..
the silence of a shout..
when you " pick up a glassy stone to
throw"
your own image out
