The Woods

I threw a rock into your pool
Darker than oil
Dark to the point where you find yourself hunting for the edges of your vision
to make sure your eyes are still there

But necessary and replenishing
as only water can be

as the rock fell to the end
it caught the most beautiful light

With every part of its surface, in every color
It caught the light of the world on the way down
And I knew I loved you
