As the winds rippled the water
Distorting the perfect reflection
Gravity fought to restore its clarity
To mirror the serenity of perfection

But seldom are things gong to stand so still
That my eyes will rest in that peace
Of the silence of such solitude
For changing pictures are in natures power

Storming along the terrain of ever changing seasons
Aging with silence of numbness of changing tides
Erosion will take away my youth
Leaving a skeletal remain
Which will be washed away to the dust of memories

Yet the image of that perfect image keeps haunting me
Wanting it to stand still so I can capture its glory
But life’s wrinkles will never be set free
In a fountain of youth

TOE, you so silly! *giggle*

Loved the poem...and was pondering it deeply through reading. I like the way you see things.
