“Reflect me as I am, — three-dimensional!
Do not flatten me with your exterior,
rather curve from all the conventional
And engulf me,-- first the inferior

and then cover it up with affinity.
Swallow light and reflect its radiance,
capture everything in your vicinity,
and invert the lines of your radius

as to include all of the outwardly,--
everything that is our of your medium.
In a sense, I guess that I’m cowardly,
I’m afraid of the permanent tedium

of the life on this side of the border...
So I beg you reflect me! I’m sinking!”--
Thus I prayed to oblivious water,
as the puddles were drying and shrinking...

  I enjoyed reading this very much, and the line that I can't seem to stop reading is:
"..swallow light and reflect its radiance".
That is wonderfully put......
                        excellent write!!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!
