Light Reflection

...I wrote this sometime ago and decided against posting it because I felt it was quite silly but when I reread it I realized that it actually had some meaning so I felt the need to share....




The light dances across the deep blue water as the reflection casts a glorious sight. There is an array of colors that spreads across the land, changing everything it touches. The picture starts to change into a rich, detailed Polaroid shot filled with bright, vibrant colors that seem to forever shine with such intensity.

As I let my weight slowly shift, my head falls carefully to your shoulder. It is as if this place on your shoulder was made for me. My head fits so perfectly. As I rest upon your shoulder, I take in the complete beauty of the scene before me. It is a masterpiece of art that nature has taken the time to create. So effortlessly yet perfectly painted as if done so with an artist's brush.

The reflection brings my gaze back to the deep blue water that is forever deepening with the lowering of the sun. It is as if the lake is a perfect reflection of the way my heart feels when I gaze into your eyes. When I think it could not get any deeper, something amazing happens to prove to me it can.

As the sun finally sinks from the sky, the picture changes into a scene engulfed by darkness. It is as if nothing could fight the darkness and everything must submit to its intensity. There is no life in this darkness and despair quickly sets in.

A gentle breeze starts to stir as the scent of exotic wildflowers start to fill the air. As the clouds lazily roll by, a lightness begins to purge the blackness. The pure white light penetrates all the places that have been filled with darkness and brings life back. The colors and shades are different than the setting sun but just as vibrant. All despair starts to slip away as lazily as the clouds roll across the sky.

My head is still upon your shoulder as I realize that it was you all along. You are the light in my darkness and I will forever gaze upon you when I start to feel my despair.
