Reflections in a Pool of Water

Reflections in a pool of water

bring heaven down to earth,

Fragments of blue sky

hover over cobblestones.

Dark walls of a building

sink down upside down,

annihilating tangible reality.

A patchwork quilt of paving stones

reflects the luminescent light of day,

frames that topsy turvy world

 where what is real

merges with illusion.

  1. Lovely poem, great foto, and a sobering insight— reality, illusion, the distinction ultimately indiscernible, unknowable? Is that truth what the liars rely on to peddle their lies? Signorelli saw it all… Sending love and hugs, margaret
