The glow reflected in the puddled tears
Shed for a misplaced lover long ago
Is not some beacon left alight for years
Divine the surface now from what’s below
The shallow pool you stand in is your own
It barely bathes the bottom of your shoes
The light reflected there is yet unkown
But glimmers in familiar shades of blues
But if you leave, the vision is perturbed
By rippling time that always calls you back
Such tokens are so easily disturbed
By movements and the metaphors they lack
So stay my love and watch the light increase
And I will find new ways to bring you peace
