How Can I?
How can I see
the sky
by looking down?

How can I see the sky
by looking
down?
The aim of the eye
isn't in its location,
when what for a little reflection,
miles away may be captured.
It isn't the mud or
caught water,
with its smooth horizontal plane,
it is the sun,
sending its rays through the trees.
Millions of miles away, that sun,
and, yes, you can
see it by looking down.
Thank the rain,
thank the water,
thank the mystery of reflected light.   
May I, too, be just so reflective
of radiant Light.
See, you can
find it in the hidden places,
the unexpected places.
May I always be ready
for quiet miracles.
