ENVIRONMENTAL Poem: Glistening, by Anshul Sankaran

Diamonds across a horizon as water droplets reflect the rays cast upon them

Like miniature stars dancing across the surface in front of you

Standing, staring

Too dazzled to step forward for, after all what if even the slightest movement meant the shine would dim

As you look above the sparkles you see Apollo descending in front of you, turning his domain a rush of cherry blossom and tangerine

Colors dancing thorough the heavens above you as you still refuse to move

For in this moment as the world glistened around you and sounds of waves shifting between each other, their rhythmic movements acting as an orchestra to this scene

You paused and take a long steady breath

As the world felt open, free, and most importantly glistening once again
