    Glistening moonlight
       spills across a mirrored lake.
    As stones fall leaving behind
       ripples of sweet sarrow in their wake.

    The night pulses with
       a life of its own.
    As sences are scattered
       from winds unknown.

    Such is the way
       in a land of dreams.
    Where all things are possible
       and nothing is as it seems.

    The moon could be
       the face of a goddess
    And the lake a pool.
       of her own tears.

    The stone could be
       a single thought of
       a mortal man.

    The ripples  the wake of
       his movements as she lends
       hm Her hand.

    Such is the land
       of dreams
    Or could it be the reality
       of a life not so easily
       seen...

    The night can be written about in so many ways. I like the before-after feel of this, how you explained the surface then pushed into a deeper perspective. [Glistening moonlight spills across a mirrored lake] - I like the visual of this line. Dark glowing reflection. Well painted.

    thank you very much. Im a little insecure about my poetry.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
