💫 "we shine back the light that shines on us" 💫
----------
We Were a Palace of Light
last night at sunset
i drove to the cove
and after silly dancing
i strode from the beach
into the sea
until i dove in
joining many others
like happy otters
we bobbed
on our backs
with buoyant grins
we passed to each other
the sky
was a pastel picture
in pink and blue
behind the clouds
it looked like pinterest
for a moment
i couldn't believe
how the buttery surface
of the water
was all dressed up
like the sky
what are the chances
they had the same dress
but then i remembered
that's how reflection works
we shine back the light
that shines on us
last night
it was shining and
we were
the light-filled
opulence of versailles
we were
the hall of mirrors
we were
a palace of light
bobbing there
laughing with our joy
just to be there
at sunset
bobbing in
our bathing suits
