SPLASH!
Ripples
merge you and I
into a private existence
mirroring each other
different shades of blues
silver rings of protection
white dots of hope
green patches of communication
blue background of love
until someone else
jumps in with both feet
splashing and spreading
confusion
drenching our safeness
with questions
green jealousy
and blue moon moods
holding a red umbrella.
After a while calm silver
reflects our feelings
reminding us what we had
in our perfect puddle,
holding a mirror to our faces
before rubber boots intruded
so we realize what we had
before…
