The way of water

mirrored mountains gleam
ripples erase reflection
water moves away

Thanks for the heads up

Hello, Seren,
This is peaceful and serene, yet has just the right touch of motion. Wonderful.

Dear Ekaterina

That's a lovely thing to say!! Thanks so much. I'm a blank slate until I put my headphones on. I always listen to instrumental music never songs with lyrics. I find that sometimes being a singer it can influence the process.

I am so happy that you like it

Hugs Jayne xxx
