puddle

drops of rain land in the puddle

small waves move out to the water's edge

and once again the puddle is still

the reflection is near perfect

an unwavering image of the clouds up above

the delight of a child

spreads the puddle about

breaking the still picture

the water comes back together

the shaky image becomes still once more

and high above

blue sky breaks through

and gone goes the puddle

gone goes the image

our love once shimmered

an image of perfection

just a single mistep

and the image was broken

but we came back together

only to move on

beautiful reflective words about such a simple thing, with layers of thoughts and ideas behind them. I can actually picture looking at that puddle and seeing all that you speak of within.
Wonderful words. Thank you for sharing.
