Peace Again

Resting heart beat, tranquil mind
Releasing worries undefined
Ripples dissipate with time
Carry off dark thoughts sublime

When the surface becomes glass
Wind is still, no stone is cast
See the bottom through the skies
Reflected in my double’s eyes

In that moment did appear
A single, solitary tear
Dripped from my eye into mine
To the mirror it declined
Upon arrival, surface bends
Leaving ripples once again

Absolutely...

one of my favorites of yours! The ripples left in the mirror, will spread out and fade slowly, hopefully, before we forget the
reason for them in the first place. Beautiful lines:
