Captive

Like stained glass
Captured mist
Echoes in the dusk
Still waters rumble
And explore in secret
Beneath the fragments
Preening under a setting sun
Captive as untold lore
Silent it preys haunting
Circling a sheen of light
As it dances gloriously
Free in the open air
Kissed with breaths of wind
Humbled by droplets of rain
Her reflection borne
Carved in the sweeping ripples
In want of her freedom
