I'll wet my Ankles &
   Slip in
      To my knees 

A pool has my Heart.
   Moonlight shattered 
     in the 
       Reflected shimmer.
A mouth of a fish thinks I'm 
   dropping bait
    or just, 
  Says Hello.

I don't talk fish tonight.
  I'll just be careful because 
   there are more
       than fish in this pool.

The Air Laughs 
           at my arrogance
by Brushing
  the leaves above my sight. 

A star needs for nothing, 
         sufficient of itself.
I volunteer for an
   adventure before 
     even knowing what it
            is.
I cannot leave my Heart behind.
