It is a simple thing
being here, in the land of reflection

There may be refractions,
bright angles, shafts of light
coming in from unexpected places —
they magnify the radiance,
they show its different facets

Sometimes I can trace them,
sometimes not. Yet simply
I am filled up with the glow
and simply
I am satisfied.
