The Not So Lonely Relfections

An ekphrasis poem based on the painting "Rain's Rustle" that I made a while back in my creative writing class. Enjoy!

 The Not So Lonely Reflections

The duel lamps shine a light on the reflections in the fallen rain

Our reflections walk together 

The bright colours in the beautiful trees relieve me of all my pain

I wish this would last forever

Our reflections walk together 

Through the prismatic trees

Rain from the storm before 

still shimmering in the enticing glow  

They stand tall

Taller than us

Colourful and proud

Our reflections walk together

In the past, they may not have

Perhaps this is our first time meeting

Or maybe it’s the last time they do

As it might be a colourful goodbye

But right now

In this vivid scene

Petrichor and melancholy hanging heavily in the air

Our reflections walk together

Captured in colour forever

Although I don't really know

If you are lover friend or foe

Our lonely reflections walk together

In the reflected world below
