Simply

It is a simple thing

being here, in the land of reflection

There may be refractions,

bright angles, shafts of light

coming in from unexpected places —

they magnify the radiance,

they show its different facets

Sometimes I can trace them,

sometimes not. Yet simply

I am filled up with the glow

and simply

I am satisfied.
