Simple Delights

The ripples slowly spread
Obscuring my image
A ghostly shadow
I see it dancing
Moving with the waves

The colors are so vivid
Their warmth filling my heart
My smile beams back at me
And I return the favor
Such a simple gesture

A shadow passes over
I stare up toward the sky
There is the little Blue Bird
My partner on the waves
Dancing with my image

I turn my gaze toward the pool
Seeing my hope laid bare
I get just a moments glance
Before the ripples return
My shadow dancing with the waves

My shadow shimmers on the surface
I know I'm blessed to behold this sight
Such a simple and plain vision
My simple features glisten
A pale reflection of God's light
