The polished brown rock in my garden
Shines when drips from the watering can hit it.
The light fragments
In the water drops
Are the falling pieces of your mind-
One of which recognized
Your imminent departure
From memory's world-
One of which presented me
With this glowing, smooth gift.

Beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing! I love its imagery and that the meter of its wisdom seems to drop effortlessly as the water. I will happily remember this "watering". : )
