Like Glass

Water clear and cool
Reflecting like glass
Showing imperfections
In shocking clarity
Fog rolling against
Sliding smoothly over
Like a knife’s blade
Sharpened by time
Ripples flow outward
Reaching the shore
Distorting faces
Shadowed in the smoke
Cleared by the breeze
Reflection flawless
As night closes in
For a moment of time
You can see forever
In its endless waves
And its beveled edge
Carved by sand
Then pressed into form
Just like glass.
