You are the reflection...
You are the reflection on the pavement of a rainy day,
Mirror of the sky painted briefly by shadows of a bustling world.
Where is my soul but in your image?
Eternity will reveal your beauty glistening in the memory of water.
Eternity will reveal your beauty glistening in the memory of water.
***
How dark the sky...
How dark the sky,
How dark the sky,
Bright the water
When silver fish
Reflect the moon.
