I Am the Pond

I am the gold fish Swimming in the pond I am the blue bullfrog Bellowing in the pond I am the yellow tadpole Feeding in the pond I am the fluorescent dragonfly Nesting in the pond I am the white rock Wading in the pond I am the Noble Savage Siting on another rock Contemplative near the pond I am the sycamore tree Overshadowing everything within the pond I am the boisterous wind Breathing the breath of life in the pond I am the high noon sun The spark of life in the pond I am the green algae and amoeba Supporting all life in the pond I am the tall river of grass Cleaning debris in the pond I am the blue heron Raising like the Pohoenix From the tar sands in pond I am the black sea turtle Like an island Caring for my children Black white yellow and brown In the blue pond
