Water falls in pure-white allegro formations
Dancing in sunlight,
Inscribing a perfect circle
On the fountain’s small pond,
As holy, as soul-nurturing
As any Eucharistic wafer
Ever hoped to be,
While overhead,
A single white cloud,
Suspended in crystal blue clarity,
Casts its narrow shadow,
Into the center,
Whispers,
The way a wine-dipped wafer does,
Here!
In all this sunlight,
Dance!

I habe Hofgarten gern. I do have one little comment: While as the introduction to stanza two may be too wordy for the rest of the poem. I just read the poem without it and it speaks louder to my inner ears.
Rudy, thank you so much. You are exactly right! Und auch ich habe Hofgarten gern! :)
I love the way the images of circles follow one another around this poem. Brilliant!
Thank you, Carole! I do seem to have a “thing” for circles…!
