droplets








life hurdles droplets of reflection at you perpetually
causing a brittle ripple in the pool of our focuses
making desperate the distinction of one’s inspiration or ignorance
party or pinpoint
staggering notions of the amazing     coincidental     intangible

it's that feeling when all the world      universe      you are in a gleam, a brick
when it seems billions of conspiring gnomes made your realization possible…
their grand decoy…no come-on

your staring at water on a window pane and the ramen won't cook itself…
but still it mumbles

then when doubt’s ripple settles and the surface returns to glass
the shower of rain becomes a meteor one…
and the haze of oranges, reds, and yellows widens into solar systems light years apart
the pattern of awe turns to a questioning one…and back…

oh shit neon’s of blue hue were within this palette?

you will always remember this spot, this light, and most of all this feeling
you thought of unfathomable things
you truly loved for a moment something that happens but once…
you appreciated loosing focus on your habits in habitat
layering your reflections on reflection’s face
a gifted moment never to have back, and yeah I like that…
