Among
These afternoon
Rays of light
Two goldfish
Together from beneath
Deep green lily pads slowly gyre

It is a quiet dance
A waltz perhaps
To a music
Only they can hear

Occasionally a fin
Breaks the surface of the mirror
Creating a circle
Under low willow leaves

That expands
Growing farther out
From the moment
That was theirs alone
Until for all others
It disappears

John, you are a Saint of poem. tooo much for a poem to hold. excellent.
****************
light is from the soul
fish are the feelings
gyre is the mind
dance is the heart
fin is the emotion
this moment is the dream.

still one can never be too careful to your trap. the charm will stir many a heart.
background....????  chilled even when I mention it.
