Beauty of the Pond

The pond laps on the side edge of itself Tiny waves form by the moon’s influence Ripples formed by all the tree’s seeds falling Beauty of this scene has some innocence Reflections in the pond are barely there Wavy image appears on the surface A calming feel is presented right here Each ripple arrives as if in a race Light ricochets off the water’s bright form Opening my heart to wondrous beauty Safely this pond allows me perfect ease My soul’s receptive of tranquility I throw pebbles in the inviting pond I see some fish rising to water’s top Showing off and tempting me to catch them I’ll remember joy, never the teardrops Russell Sivey

There is something hypnotic about being by the water, just like the fire...it moves..changes...lives before our eyes..takes our minds off our current thoughts....dreamy Russell....loved it...

Reminds me of walking through a nearby park that has several ponds that fit this description. Another fine write, Russell.
