Those days I spend
Cattails brushing my legs
Wading through shallow water
Dragonfly wings
Shimmer in the sun
Deep throaty croaks
Erupt from bullfrogs
Those days I spend
Staring
At the swirling sand
At fish,
Silently darting
Scales gleaming,
Like the silver armor of a knight
On those days I spend,
I know
This is the place
Where
I can lose myself
And be one
With the pond
Cattails brushing my legs
Wading through shallow water
Dragonfly wings
Shimmer in the sun
Deep throaty croaks
Erupt from bullfrogs
Those days I spend
Staring
At the swirling sand
At fish,
Silently darting
Scales gleaming,
Like the silver armor of a knight
On those days I spend,
I know
This is the place
Where
I can lose myself
And be one
With the pond
