    Glistening moonlight
       spills across a mirrored lake.
    As stones fall leaving behind
       ripples of sweet sarrow in their wake.

    The night pulses with
       a life of its own.
    As sences are scattered
       from winds unknown.

    Such is the way
       in a land of dreams.
    Where all things are possible
       and nothing is as it seems.

    The moon could be
       the face of a goddess
    And the lake a pool.
       of her own tears.

    The stone could be
       a single thought of
       a mortal man.

    The ripples  the wake of
       his movements as she lends
       hm Her hand.

    Such is the land
       of dreams
    Or could it be the reality
       of a life not so easily
       seen...

    The night can be written about in so many ways. I like the before-after feel of this, how you explained the surface then pushed into a deeper perspective. [Glistening moonlight spills across a mirrored lake] - I like the visual of this line. Dark glowing reflection. Well painted.

    thank you very much. Im a little insecure about my poetry.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
