Pictures capture the setting in silence
as if the silence has settled
Reflections capture the stillness in the water
as if to sink beneath
could somehow be more soothing
than the reality rocking
just a fraction beyond the frame.
Hope is as fragile as a pond of still water,
a breath held
as if to hold back the ripples
that can render illusion
a drowned delusion.
