Captured For a Moment In Time

The waves on the pond
Ripple with the breeze
As the temperature drops
Awaiting the intending winter freeze

For upon its waves
A pink water lily floated
Its beauty so radiant
Colours so coated

The intending winter chill
Descended overnight
Captured for a moment in time
This pink lily of delight

In its cryogenic setting
Until the temperature warms
This plant of natures beauty
Within the ice, adorns

Oh! The beauty that I see in this lovely write. I often wonder how they survive in the ice like that. Keep the creative and magical pen flowing. Sara
