At the Pond
I fritter my time away as I sat on a bench.
In front of me was a large pond with an alcove
Where three upside dolphins spout water
To keep the pond full of green filtered liquid.
The water trickle reminds me of the sound of silence.
But silence all around there was none; for hear
Red Bunting, plovers and others fly here and there.
Whilst in the shallow part of the pond, ducks waddle along.
Fascinated I admire the lotus plants in the water
As yellow and red flowers adorn the flat green leaves.
Food is abundant since flies, dragonflies and insects
Provide the animal kingdom with plenty to eat.
It was a warm evening and soon all went to rest
I soon felt drowsy as the trickle of water was so melodious.
But light sleep was not for me it seems as if a shadow fell on me.
I woke as her lips brushed softly on my own. I was full of glee.
