Waterfront Solitude

`



Less than a bell's tinkle
fainter than a whistle
stars in the sky twinkle
your breath a hushed whisper

O the tiniest sparkle
dapple on glassy water
far from distant heckles
my soul freed from shackles

This brings back a very fond memory

of standing with my sig other in the silent cold and watching the Pleides shower very early one morning. I think "dapple" should be "dapples" but there is nothing else to suggest here. Lovely.
