STUMBLED

No one asked me to be alone

A choice I made on an idyllic day

Morning or afternoon? Can't say

My curtain of water colour green

escapes behind a chorus of aqua

and a haze of a thousand silent splashes

A sideward glance is all that reveals

peace portrayed in a perfect place

Nature's play in a perfect space

And amidst reflections I sit unaware

Unaware, perhaps not, but transfixed

Yes transfixed, that's probably it

Wondering who else has seen

This autograph preserved in time

The calm experienced in this scene

Unexpected, isn't it always

when the eye stumbles and discovers

delight hidden in plain sight
