I sit at the end of the wooden pier Near the river’s edge As the current cool water veers Unhindered away from the ledge Watching the swirls on the water surface As the ducklings swim, as they leave the sedge Aware of my bare feet, splashing the blue surface For bread crumbs as I stretch to feed them from the ledge Lapping sounds echo against the pier As river takes a breath from its creator Then drew away without fear Mixed with calm melody of nature I sit at the end of the wooden pier Near the river’s edge As the current cool water veers Feeding the ducklings from the ledge 5/4/2016
