It's the light of a pondI'll wager with a little photoshop to flip the image and make the top a mirror image of the bottom. It is the face of the pond, or slow moving stream, and I suspect it dries up at a certain time each year < oh how it flowed before you turned it off>, but it will come back

Oops, I meant to post the original (pre-flipped) one, but got the file
names mixed up, but I just fixed it. (It's some gas station lights
reflected off the water of a drainage ditch.)
Well, Dale got it, so it's only 2999 now.
What's left to explicate is the 'you' in
'oh how it flowed before you turned it off'
The 'you' could be God, or a dam the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
constructed; but it's probably something much more mundane. If I
were to venture a guess, I'd say the whole damn thing was your typical:
"You stopped loving me and I'm so sad I gotta metamorphosize something
and hey, look, there's a pipe with some water flowing out of it and splashing
into a drainage ditch whose reflections, against all reason, remind me of
your face and you've dumped me and the pipe's dumping something frothy
and white and it's seeping into my shoes and smells like shit which is what
you must think of when you think of me but I still love you."
