Through the Eyes of Water

by J.S. - Pisces

Lights from the city buildings scratch the water
With their colors as they blur and replicate
Under the power of the ebony night. The placid
Water's meditation is interrupted, and the water
Ripples in the shape of the world. As the
Water travels out, it cleanses the colored
Scrapes and scratches, but does not heal the
wounds, and the melted gold color still sits
And streaks across the plain of the water.
The buildings touch the dark sky, and look
Down to the foothills, where the water reflects.
The water looks up back to the mountainous 
Buildings to see aberance in the horizon.
Buildings stretch across the sky, and the 
Water sees them, a constructed break between
Earth and sky. The water sees a mimicked
Horizon, and yet, it still reflects it.

Reason for writing:

    I've noticed that people are never themselves.
