A ripple

Disturbs the sky

The clouds bend

A few shatter

As they pass the pink lilies on the water

 Drifting,  drifting,  drifting,   

 Floating away from the world of trees and reeds,       

 Bending  in the breeze,

Moving  with  the clouds

Until the clouds  pass them,

Rejoin their own reflection,

And the ripples

 fade

 away...
