Statues lay beholden
Still and relentless
Embellished in rainbows
Flowing waters ankle deep
A solace from humid monotony
Jolts of cool sprays marvel
Mock protests ensue
Beings glide, kicking, flicking
Splashing, laughing
Life pauses in these drops
Glistening on the skin
The sun thunders in vain
Children play Gods
Untarnished, untiring
Squeals garnish the dull roar
The moon will rise smiling today
With promises made of return
And dreams soaked in beatific memories
