The colors danced and twirled upon the waves as you would expect light to. A wonderfully sublime sight it was to behold them slowing into a waltz as a slight breeze brushed the surface of the water. Yet such beauty is not always so easily appreciated by all.
As the wind picked up and swiftly swept the face of the water, the waves calmed even further. Within seconds the water was completely stilled into the smoothest surface he had ever seen. It seemed to get smoother every time...

The aging man sat on the dock of The Lake and closed his eyes once more. A tear escaped its cage as he did so and it seemed to hang in the air for a few seconds too long before reaching the water's surface. This salty drop added to the extreme magnificence of the scene. What ought to have caused ripples reaching not more than a few feet away from the origin, extended them to all edges of The Lake.
